The Gamble Pays Off (Part 2)

The Gamble Pays Off (Part 2)

Hou Longtao returned to Shi Ya’s place before 10:00 PM, much earlier than expected. “Oh, you’re back,” Shi Ya said happily, acting like a dutiful wife, taking Hou Longtao’s coat and hanging it on the rack. She then brought him a pair of slippers. “Have you eaten? I made chicken soup. Should I heat up a bowl for you?” Before he could answer, she was already in the kitchen.

Hou Longtao smiled and shook his head, sitting down at the dining table. Soon, a bowl of fragrant chicken soup was placed in front of him. “Does it taste good?” she asked from behind, her hands on his shoulders, caressing him. “Mmm… delicious.” He finished it in one go, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “Whew, hot. I’m going to take a shower.”

The warm shower washed away his fatigue. Shi Ya walked in naked, hugging the man’s strong body from behind, her cheek against his back. “Husband…” “Hey, I can’t shower like this.” Hou Longtao tried to relax his body. “Just for a moment, let me hug you for a bit.” That ‘bit’ turned into ten minutes. “Okay now?” “Okay, okay,” Shi Ya stepped out of the tub. “I’ll wait for you in the bedroom.” “Hey, weren’t you saying no doing it tonight?” “You’re so bad. I just want you to hold me while I watch TV.” She playfully slapped his back.

“Sigh.” Hou Longtao sighed, cursing himself for being useless, for falling into the bottomless pit of emotion again. He originally just wanted to use this woman to vent his desires, to psychologically take revenge on Shi Long. But once he discovered her affection for him, he couldn’t help but feel affection for her. He wondered when he would get rid of this bad habit.

He climbed into bed naked, pulling the equally naked woman into his arms. “What do you want me to watch with you?” “The evening news.” “What’s so interesting about the news? Change it…” Hou Longtao suddenly remembered what was bothering him. The TV was reporting on traffic flow statistics at major intersections in Beijing. “Do you know Liu Jiang, the captain of the Xuanwu traffic police team?”

“I don’t know him. Why?” Shi Ya rubbed her hair against the man’s chest. “It’s nothing, just asking.” Hou Longtao was a little disappointed. The date of his appointment was getting closer, but he couldn’t find a breakthrough with Liu Jiang. *How could he not be anxious?*

A woman’s intuition is always strong. She seemed to sense that her young lover was unhappy. “Is something on your mind?” “No, nothing.” Hou Longtao didn’t want to add to her worries. *Anyway, fate is in the hands of heaven, and there will always be a way.* He pulled Shi Ya on top of him and lightly kissed her lips. “Do you want to make love with me?”

“You… weren’t you just…” She looked at him strangely. “Heh heh, with a beauty in my arms, how can I resist?” He placed his hands on her round buttocks, squeezing them. “Unless you don’t want to.” “Husband…” Shi Ya was overjoyed, closing her eyes and pressing her lips down, sucking his tongue into her mouth…

After dropping Chen Xi off at school, Hou Longtao went to Jimen Hotel again. As he was about to enter, a bald man by the door stopped him. “You must be Brother Tao? Brother Sheng asked me to wait for you here. He’s waiting for you in room 816. This is the key card. Brother Sheng wants you to open the door yourself.” Looking closely, he recognized the man as one of the two bodyguards who had been behind Li Dongsheng the first time he met him.

816 was a standard room. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Dongsheng wearing only his underwear, lying on one of the beds. The two prostitutes from last night were kneeling naked beside him, one massaging his back and the other massaging his legs. “Heh heh, Brother Sheng, you really know how to enjoy yourself.” “Ah, Longtao is here,” Li Dongsheng pointed to the other bed. “Come, come, Qin, go serve Longtao.”

“Okay.” The woman massaging his back happily got off the bed and walked to Hou Longtao, helping him take off his coat. “No need, no need.” Hou Longtao pushed her hand away. “Longtao,” Li Dongsheng raised his eyelids slightly. “They’re pretty good at massaging. Give it a try. Don’t worry, they don’t usually go out easily. They only serve people with a bit of status, so they’re not dirty at all. I wouldn’t have called them if you hadn’t asked for the best yesterday.”

“Brother Sheng, you’re too kind. That’s not what I meant.” Hou Longtao really thought they were dirty, but since Li Dongsheng had said so much, he couldn’t refuse him too much. He stopped stopping the woman from undressing him. “Only serve people with a bit of status? Have you ever served Liu Jiang, the captain of the Xuanwu traffic police team?” “Liu Jiang? I haven’t.” “Me neither,” the other woman also gave a negative answer.

He wasn’t really expecting anything anyway, just asking casually. If they hadn’t served him, then so be it. “Yo, Brother Tao, I didn’t expect you to be so strong.” Qin unbuttoned his shirt, exclaiming in surprise. The other woman couldn’t help but look over. “What beautiful muscles.” Qin even stuck out her tongue, licking one of his nipples, her right hand unbuttoning his pants, her left hand already impatiently reaching in through the zipper, rubbing the man’s penis through his underwear.

“Hey, hey, hey, massage is massage, don’t take advantage of me.” Hou Longtao moved away from the woman and lay down on the bed. Qin giggled, helping him take off his shoes and socks, then kneeling on his buttocks, “massaging” his muscles along his spine, making his muscles pop. “Oh… oh… oh…” The feeling of pain and pleasure made him groan.

“How is it, not bad, right?” Li Dongsheng laughed. “Longtao, didn’t you have something to ask them?” “Oh… oh… right, right, right. How’s that kid’s skills in bed?” Hou Longtao asked with his eyes closed, gritting his teeth. “Not good,” Qin changed to kneeling beside him, pinching his thigh, her eyes fixed on his firm buttocks exposed outside his underwear. “That kid’s still a virgin.”

“What!? Really?” Hou Longtao’s eyes suddenly opened, a chill running down his spine. “Really,” the other woman replied. “We even gave him five hundred yuan each as ‘lucky money’.” “Come on, turn over.” Qin wanted Hou Longtao to lie straight, kneeling in front of his feet, lifting one of his feet with her left hand, her right thumb clamped between her index and middle fingers, drilling into the center of his foot.

“Ah… good… more details.” This painful pleasure was unparalleled. “At first, he pretended to be very experienced, lying on the bed and asking us to give him a ‘blowjob’. But when we really started, he came in less than thirty seconds. Later, he asked me to lie down, looked at my lower body, and was stunned, even saying that it looked much better than in the DVDs. I almost died laughing.”

“Yeah,” Qin took over. “We asked him for a long time, coaxing and begging, and finally threatened him that if he didn’t tell the truth, we wouldn’t do it with him. He’s really just a kid. Brother Tao wanted us to do it with him, how could we dare not do it? But he seemed really scared and told us everything. It turns out his girlfriend never lets him touch her. He was still a virgin before last night.”

“Qianqian…” Hou Longtao called out in his heart, now wanting to cry and laugh at the same time. *The song of the fairy rang in his ears*, and the sunlight in the cold winter was as bright as spring. His mind was full of Chen Qian’s stunning beauty and pure smile, and he unconsciously got an erection.

“Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, look at him.” Qin pointed to Hou Longtao, who was staring straight at her. Li Dongsheng got off the bed and put on his clothes. “Women, you’re in luck. Have fun with him.” He put his arm around the other woman and went out. “This guy is still too young. He can’t control himself when he sees a woman.”

A warm, moist sensation came from between his legs. Hou Longtao raised his head slightly, vaguely seeing a woman’s head rising and falling between his legs, knowing that she was performing oral sex on him. He put his head back on the pillow, staring blankly at the ceiling. In a daze, a smiling, long-haired girl appeared before his eyes.

“Qianqian…” Hou Longtao stretched his right hand into the air, “stroking” the girl’s face. “Tell me you love me as much as I love you.” Qin was licking his penis with relish, suddenly hearing him mumble something she didn’t understand. She didn’t look up, stroking his penis with one hand and holding his thigh with the other, putting a testicle in her mouth and turning it around, asking unclearly, “Hmm… what did you say?”

“Tell me, tell me you love me.” “Hmm… hmm… I love you… I love you…” This time Qin heard clearly. With her professional skills, plus this “person” being extraordinary, she would naturally answer according to his request. Qin’s tongue pressed against his anus, licking it gently and carefully.

“Ah…” Hou Longtao closed his eyes contentedly. In his mind, the person serving him was not a prostitute, but Chen Qian, whom he had been thinking about day and night. The penis in Qin’s hand was as hard as an iron rod, almost seducing her to death. Last night’s virgin was not even an appetizer for her, an experienced woman. After doing it with him, she still felt uncomfortable all over.

Taking out a condom from her purse, she put it on him, then held the erect penis with her backhand and sat down. The large glans opened her labia and vaginal walls, reaching all the way to her uterus. “Ah…” Qin breathed a sigh of relief and began to twist her big butt wildly, moving violently up and down, her hands also rubbing her breasts hard. Hou Longtao was completely immersed in his fantasy world. Qin’s slightly loose vagina couldn’t bring him much pleasure, but the infinite love for Chen Qian in his heart gave him unprecedented spiritual enjoyment. At

When the woman reached her third orgasm, Hou Longtao also ejaculated…

Getting into the car and putting the miniature camera into the storage box, Hou Longtao’s mood was simply too good. What could be more encouraging for a man than knowing that his beloved girl had been guarding her purity and innocence, never letting his rival cross the line? With this good mood, he finally decided to launch a full-fledged love offensive towards Chen Xi.

“How’s your foot?” Hou Longtao asked the girl beside him casually. “Ah… still… still a little sore.” Chen Xi’s face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head. This subtle movement was seen by the man out of the corner of his eye. The corners of Hou Longtao’s mouth turned up, confirming that he was not far from success.

Hou Longtao remembered that once when he was fighting with someone outside, his arm was fractured by a wooden stick, but he basically couldn’t feel anything unusual after only three days. It had been two weeks since he started picking up and dropping off Chen Xi, and her injury should have healed long ago. But she hadn’t told him, there were only two possible reasons: one was that she had secretly developed feelings for him, and the other was that she was the kind of girl who was greedy for pleasure. No matter which reason it was, she was definitely in his pocket.

“It’s still early, let’s go see a movie.” Before he got an answer, Hou Longtao had already turned the car around. “Okay.” Chen Xi agreed softly, a pure girl would always be a little nervous about her first “date”.

They arrived at Dahua Cinema at 3:56. As soon as they got out of the car, before Chen Xi could put on her gloves, Hou Longtao grabbed her hand. “Quick, there’s a show at four.” The two ran to the ticket office to buy tickets. The girl’s legs didn’t show any signs of being inconvenient. The “Daylight Hall” of Dahua Cinema was full of semi-circular sofas. A semi-circular cover extended from the back of the sofa, a bit like the chair Will Smith sat in when he took the exam in “Man In Black” [a popular science fiction movie], but much larger and more comfortable, more like a small karaoke seat. Hou Longtao had let go of the girl’s hand when he bought drinks and popcorn, placing the food on the round table in front of them, and they both took off their coats and put them aside. After the movie started, the atmosphere was very relaxed because it was a comedy. But Chen Xi’s mind was not on the screen. “Did he just hold my hand because he was in a hurry? Or is it that he… sigh.” As she thought, she reached out her left hand to grab popcorn from the bucket.

Coincidentally, Hou Longtao’s right hand was also in the bucket. Their skin touched and separated immediately. Chen Xi wanted to withdraw her hand, but he moved faster. He grabbed her soft fingers, slowly moving upwards, and their hands finally clasped together. “Ah…” Two clouds immediately climbed onto Chen Xi’s pretty face. Fortunately, it was dark all around, and even the man beside her couldn’t see her shyness.

Hou Longtao was surprisingly honest, just holding her hand the whole time, without any other improper behavior. But Chen Xi’s mood still couldn’t calm down. The last time she was so close to a boy was three years ago, and she was still very immature at that time. Her current state of mind was completely different from that time, and her feelings for him were no longer just simple adolescent attraction. “Why is this happening? Am I falling in love with him?”

He began to move, slowly leaning towards her, his left hand also reaching over. “Ah… what… what is he going to do?” Hou Longtao’s head had reached in front of her. “Is… is he going to kiss me? Should… should I refuse? I can’t let him think I’m frivolous, but… but I don’t want to refuse.” Just as she was thinking wildly, Hou Longtao’s body stopped, his left hand rummaging in the coat beside Chen Xi, taking out his cell phone. “I forgot to turn it off.” After speaking, he sat up straight again, still gently holding her hand. “Phew…” Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether it was relief or disappointment. For the hour and forty-five minutes of the movie, she basically didn’t know what was being shown, all because there was a deer constantly bumping around in her heart [meaning she was nervous and excited].

The movie ended, and their hands also separated. After putting on their coats, “Xi.” Hou Longtao naturally reached out his hand to Chen Xi again. The two walked out of the cinema hand in hand like lovers. He was handsome, refined, tall and straight, and she was beautiful, a pure white woolen hat with a round pompom on top made her look even more adorable. They were truly a match made in heaven.

“Brother Hou, our school has a dance party every Friday night. Tomorrow night, would you… would you come too?” Chen Xi played with the corner of her clothes, speaking softly. “Tomorrow night? I may not have time. It’s hard to say now. I’ll tell you tomorrow.” Hou Longtao thought that if Shi Long also attended that dance party, Chen Qian might also go. He couldn’t take that risk. This time, he was really overthinking it. If Chen Qian was going, Chen Xi wouldn’t have asked him.

The car stopped at the intersection near her house. “You didn’t want your classmates to know about me, so why do you want me to go to your school’s dance party?” “I… I didn’t.” “Didn’t you? Then why don’t you let me stop in front of your school every day? There’s nothing inconvenient about parking there.” “This… I… I…” Chen Xi really didn’t know how to answer.

“It’s okay,” Hou Longtao got out of the car and opened the door for her. “As long as I can always see you, I don’t care if others know about my existence.” “That’s not what I meant, really. I… I, please forgive me.” Chen Xi was afraid that the relationship that had just made some progress would be damaged by her unintentional actions.

“Heh heh, silly girl.” He smiled and approached her, helping her button the top button of her coat. “It’s so cold, don’t catch a cold.” Chen Xi lowered her head shyly, feeling warm in her heart. Hou Longtao also lowered his head, leaned to her lips, and kissed her lightly. “I’ll definitely dance with you tomorrow night.”

The Benz had disappeared from sight, but she was still standing there, a sweet smile on her face…

Finding the phone number Qin had left him, he dialed the number. “Hello, this is Hou Longtao.” “Yo, Brother Tao, you miss me so soon?” “I do miss you, I want you to do me a favor.” “Wow, who doesn’t know that Brother Tao is all-powerful? You still need my help?” “Did that kid leave you his phone number yesterday?” “He did.” “I want you to call him out for a room tomorrow afternoon, tell him it’s free.”

“Ah? Do I have to accompany him? That’s so uncomfortable.”

“You don’t want to?” Hou Longtao lowered his voice. “Of course I don’t want to, but Brother Tao has spoken, how dare I disobey?” Qin said mournfully. “How about this, you can find another girl for him, but the most important thing is to keep him tied up, at least until ten o’clock in the evening, is that okay?”

“Okay, I’ll find a sister to accompany him, but she can’t work for nothing.” “Heh heh, you don’t have to worry about that. I won’t mistreat anyone who has helped me.” Hou Longtao hung up the phone, rejoicing that he had chosen the right time to deal with Shi Long. As long as he didn’t go to the dance party tomorrow, Chen Qian wouldn’t be able to go either. Hou Longtao was just a mortal after all, no matter how carefully he calculated, he couldn’t foresee the future. *Man proposes, God disposes* [an idiom meaning plans may not come to fruition], but this may not be a bad thing.

Chen Xi sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her big teddy bear, staring at the ground, a smile on her face. Thinking of the tenderness and affection Hou Longtao had shown her this afternoon, and thinking of the scene when the two of them would dance gracefully in the school’s restaurant tomorrow night, when her classmates would look at her with eyes of blessing, praise, and envy, her heart was like a honey pot overturned, and she couldn’t help but giggle.

Chen Qian, who was reading at the table, heard her sister’s voice, looked back, and shook her head gently. “Xi, Xi.” “Ah! What’s wrong?” Chen Xi came back to her senses, knowing that her appearance had been seen by her sister, and was embarrassed. She quickly buried her face in the teddy bear’s head. Chen Qian walked over and sat beside her sister, putting her arm around her shoulders. “Xi, tell me, do you have a boyfriend?” “No… no.” Realizing that her sister’s expression was very serious, Chen Xi lied. “Don’t lie to your sister. You’ve been acting strange lately, always sitting there in a daze and giggling. It would be strange if you didn’t have a boyfriend.”

Chen Xi wasn’t very good at lying, and she had been given away by her actions. Anyway, she was facing her cousin who had grown up with her, so she no longer hid it, and affectionately hugged Chen Qian, acting coquettishly. “Sister, don’t be so serious. Yes, yes, yes, I have a boyfriend, are you satisfied?” “You know our family’s rules, you’re knowingly breaking them.” Chen Qian still had a gloomy face.

“Sister, don’t be like this. You sound just like my aunt and uncle.” Chen Xi shook her sister’s body. “You’re still saying that. It’s not without reason that my parents set that rule. It’s easiest for you to be impulsive at this age. What if you get pregnant?” “Sister, what are you talking about?” Chen Xi pouted, let go of Chen Qian, and turned her body to the side angrily.

“Xi, listen to your sister, it’s too early for you to be in love. Boys these days are very… you know what I mean. The most important thing for us women is to protect our purity. You’re so beautiful, there’s no need to rush. Wait a little longer, you’ll definitely find an ideal marriage partner. By then…” “Sister,” Chen Xi interrupted her, “what era is it now? Why do you still have such feudal ideas?”

Chen Qian grabbed her sister’s hand. “No matter what era, ‘fidelity’ is a woman’s virtue.” “Okay, okay, even if you’re right, then why are you still with a rogue like Shi Long? You’re not planning to be ‘faithful’ to him, are you?”

Chen Xi had never understood why her sister favored Shi Long. Since they were talking about this issue now, she might as well resolve her doubts first.

“Long? Long, he… he’s different from other boys.” Chen Qian couldn’t help but feel a little shy when her sister asked about her love life. “Don’t look at him on the surface, he always seems glib and doesn’t do anything serious, but he’s actually a very good kid. The most important thing is that he respects me very much. He promised me that he would never touch me before marriage.”

“Just because of that!?” Chen Xi couldn’t believe her ears. “Sister, you’re too confused. There are plenty of men who will respect you. Shi Long is simply an unmotivated playboy. You… you…” She was so angry at her sister’s “ignorance” that she couldn’t speak.

“Xi, you don’t understand. I’m not like you, always in key schools. There were a lot of bad kids in the schools I went to. They were always touching me. Now there are really too few good boys like Long. I really feel very relaxed with him.” Chen Qian remembered the life she had lived in fear every day when she was in school, and a sad expression appeared on her face.

“Sister,” Chen Xi saw Chen Qian like this and hugged her again. “I didn’t mean to make you unhappy, but my boyfriend isn’t the kind of person you think he is. He’s not a kid anymore, he’s a real man, both refined and polite, and he dares to take responsibility. He’s really not a bad person.”

“Man? How old is he?” “Twenty-four.” “Ah!? Men are more dangerous than boys. They… they…” Chen Qian wanted to say, “They’ve probably all had sexual experiences and won’t let go of a pure girl like you.” But looking at her lovely sister, she couldn’t say it. “I can’t say anything to you now that you’ll listen to. You must promise me that you will hold on to yourself no matter what, okay?”

“Okay, okay,” Chen Xi kissed her sister’s delicate cheek. “I promise you.” “Then tell me, what’s his name? What does he do?” “I won’t tell you,” Chen Xi stuck out her tongue playfully and stretched. “Ha… I’m going to sleep.” She got into bed, knowing that her sister was now in the same trench as her aunt and uncle, so she couldn’t tell her everything.

“Xi, Xi,” no matter how Chen Qian pushed and called, her sister ignored her. “Let’s go out for dinner together tomorrow night, and then see a movie.” She wanted to get her to talk then. “Ah, I can’t tomorrow night. I’m going to the school dance party and won’t be back for dinner.” Chen Xi told her sister her plans for tomorrow.

“Dance party? You never go to those.” “Well… I just want to go tomorrow, I’m so sleepy, I really can’t talk to you anymore, snore…” Chen Xi pretended to snore. Chen Qian shook her head helplessly. “Ah, that man will definitely go tomorrow too. Okay, girl, you’re playing hide-and-seek with me, I’ll have Long take me too, and see if I don’t catch you red-handed.” She smiled slightly, turned off the lamp, and went to her own bed…(The Gold Fish is not a thing in the pond)
