The atmosphere in the room turned somewhat strange.

Marilyn was blus.h.i.+ng lightly, then boldly continuing on like how an American would, she stared intently at Jiaming, her leg still in Jiaming’s grasp. As to Jiaming, after the brief shock, he lightly shrugged. “Um, I don’t think I would, but… this is kind of weird…”

Actually, according to Jiaming’s experience, the current situation was very simple. In his previous life as an a.s.sa.s.sin, he was not allowed and never did dabble in relations.h.i.+p matters. Even in terms of partners, there was only a very small amount of people he worked with. Being an a.s.sa.s.sin was very lonely, as the only person he could trust was himself.

However, even in that situation, he did have s.e.x with women before. When he was not on a mission, he would spend some money on a high quality prost.i.tute and never contact her again after that one night. Or, when he encountered an impressive female a.s.sa.s.sin, they would discuss killing techniques while maintaining various difficult positions and then get it on with each other. Sometimes, after an important mission, even if they did not do anything, they could rent a room and then spend the night together just for comfort.

One does not need a reason to have s.e.x, sometimes it could just be because of l.u.s.t, and at other times, l.u.s.t is not even present. The current situation was similar to that. With that woman’s att.i.tude regarding love, to say that she fell in love with a little boy like him in ten days, was basically impossible. At this point in time, the only explanation was that today’s incident had largely affected her, and even though it seemed that she had forgotten about her dead husband on the surface, she probably wanted to do something to numb her feelings. Of course, to an a.s.sa.s.sin, this type of life-or-death situation was something that no longer affected him due to his previous experiences.

On the other side, Jiaming’s body was no longer that of a child, and when it came to a mature and s.e.xy female body, it was not like he did not think about it, but…

It really was strange…

“Um, I…” Marilyn quietly said, “I remember the time you gave me that injection, and… how you looked at me. I think that you also… seemed interested and… might like to…”

Even though she was acting courageously, when it came to actually saying it, she was worried because he was fourteen years old and still young. If she did this, she wondered if it would affect the rest of his life. Jiaming sighed and said, “Of course I would like it, I’m a guy. In fact I would gladly do it with you, but you have to consider this clearly…”

Having heard his words, Marilyn bit her lip and then reached up to unb.u.t.ton her s.h.i.+rt. Shortly after, she slowly took off her snowy white underwear, revealing her curvaceous thighs and blonde **** in front of Jiaming. Suddenly having thought of something distressing, Jiaming scratched his head.

“Um, you know… I’m only fourteen. Even though it’s functional, but… cough, cough… It can’t compare to those in America… Um you know, those men in America, if you’re… um, what are you…”

As he spoke, Marilyn had already gotten up and off the bed. She slinked over closer to where he was sitting and then kneeled in between his legs, looking up at him with crimson cheeks.

“Didn’t you say that I would need to work hard to pay you back? Then… let’s start now.”

She pretended to be calm, but she was actually feeling very emotional, and her heart was thumping like a drum. Both her hands had just unb.u.t.toned Jiaming’s trousers when suddenly, her sorrow overflowed and tears dripped down onto him.

Jiaming sighed again, and just as he was about to push her away, Marilyn stop crying. She looked up at him with a mix of boldness and bashfulness, then opened her s.e.xy lips and pushed Jiaming’s leg away as her head went down.

“Unnn…”

Jiaming spread his legs and lay down on the bed, a strange expression on his face as he looked up at the mosquito net that was placed over the bed.

It really was… such a weird feeling…

***************************************************************

Over the next few days, Tang Jingyao’s death caused a lot of hubbub in Jianghai City. Naturally, this could not be traced back to Jiaming.

Every afternoon and evening, he accompanied Heidi and taught her qigong; Marilyn joined in as well. Heidi was quite adorable and loved sticking by Jiaming’s side, calling him “brother, brother” all the time. At times, when Heidi did not like the food and refused to eat it, she would throw a tantrum with her mother. However, when Jiaming said a few words, she would listen and ended up eating the food. Combined with the secret that he had with Marilyn, the relations.h.i.+p he had with Heidi seemed more like a father-daughter relations.h.i.+p instead of a siblings one.

As he ate dinner and completed his homework at Lingjing’s place, it would usually be quite late by the time he arrived at the apartment. He left the Ye family’s home around ten at night and then when he dropped by the apartment, he would only say a few things, then leave. One time, Heidi made a fuss saying that she wanted to eat dinner with Jiaming, so he only ate a few mouthfuls before leaving. This whole situation seemed like Lingjing was his wife while he snuck out for an affair.

Usually when Heidi was asleep, Jiaming and Marilyn would close the master bedroom door and quietly go to bed together. The truth was that the both of them did not have an intense relations.h.i.+p in bed, and the only reason why it happened every night was due to Marilyn’s careful consideration. On one side, she was worried that this situation would affect Jiaming’s future, on the other, she was worried that if she rejected it, Jiaming would not be happy – especially because he had just recently tasted these carnal desires. Even though she had these thoughts, she also expected Jiaming to be shy, so she would be the one to request for him to come every night. Jiaming naturally did not want to feel bad for declining, so as a result, this strange situation arose.

However, even though it became like that, the times that the two of them actually did it was minimal. In the end, Jiaming was still a child going through p.u.b.erty, and if he did not initiate it, she would only use her mouth and gently coax him to completion. After one time, the two of them would lie on the bed and talk about general subjects. Marilyn did most of the talking however, while Jiaming would listen and comment once in awhile.

When they actually had s.e.x, Marilyn would eagerly show off her body in front of Jiaming. Every night, the bedroom light would be on and she would lay on the bed naked, or let Jiaming freely touch her body. Sometimes she would hold Jiaming like a mother would or sit next to him; at other times she would roll around next to him while stopping in various poses, allowing Jiaming to admire all parts of her body. This blonde beauty would also endlessly chatter away about trivial, daily life things, such as almost cutting her finger when she was making meals or Heidi clumsily tripping over something, etc. This was something that happened all the time, no matter what they were doing.

Jiaming would occasionally respond mindlessly, as he knew that even if he did not say anything, as long as there was someone beside her, Marilyn enjoyed talking by herself until the sun came up. No matter what he wanted to do to her, she would not decline or reject him, so after a period of time, Jiaming began to feel a thread of warmth towards her.

After a short nap, around two or three in the morning, Jiaming would sit up in bed and start to meditate, followed by some simple exercises. Marilyn would naturally wake up and follow along with what he was doing. But, because she could not keep up with Jiaming, she would sit on the side and ramble away about weird things as well as theorize about Jiaming’s origin. She would say things such as Jiaming having been adopted by a martial arts master, or him going through a magical portal when he was very young and learning some miraculous kung fu. She even guessed that he had been exposed to a lot of strange and thrilling situations ever since he was a child. Of course, these were all only her imagination, and she never actually asked Jiaming to confirm anything.

After having interacted with her for a while, Jiaming updated his perception of this foreign woman. He found her similar to a typical Chinese provincial young lady – gentle, exquisite and sensitive; as well as not hesitating to reveal herself intimately regardless of whether it was one of her strengths or not. Generally people liked to keep little secrets to themselves, however she was willing to talk about it and share with Jiaming. It may not have been love, but she was willing to entrust everything to Jiaming without expecting anything in return. Occasionally, she would lay naked with a leg draped over the side of the bed, awkwardly touching herself and quietly describing what she was doing, and it could light a fire in Jiaming, causing him to instantly push her down. There were two words that perfectly described her: simply lovable.

That Sat.u.r.day and Sunday, Jiaming lied to Lingjing and Shasha and did not go to the trio’s usual weekend haunt. Because Marilyn knew that they were going to leave soon, she begged Jiaming to spend the last two days with Heidi, and Heidi also cried at Jiaming to keep her company. Because the mother-daughter pair were suspects in Tang Jingyao’s case, they naturally could not carelessly wander out of the apartment. Thus, during the day, Jiaming played video games with Heidi, and occasionally Marilyn also joined them. When Heidi fell asleep, Jiaming and Marilyn talked in their room. During these two days, they did not undress and just talked until the morning with the lights off. They lay in bed like husband and wife and shared the blankets while embracing each other.

On Monday afternoon after school, Jiaming did not go to the Ye home, and went to have a final meal with the mother-daughter pair. As the sun was setting, the three of them left the apartment and headed towards a nearby park as their time of separation was drawing near.

“Have you forgotten about him now?”

“Yeah, I’ve forgotten about him.”

“You’re not sad anymore?”

“Nope, not anymore.”

“Un, that’s good then. From now on, this is a new start. When you return to America, if you find someone better…”

“Don’t say it!”

“Huh?”

“I won’t marry another man. Chinese traditions are still the most beautiful. I’ve given my body to you, so I don’t want to give it to anyone else.”

“You big breasted brainless woman. When China used horse-drawn carriages and one was living in a wooden cottage, those traditions were correct. But it’s different now. Besides… I can’t give you anything. I’m currently only fourteen years old, and you’re double my age. Another way of saying it is that when I’m twenty, you’ll be forty; when I’m twenty-five, you’ll be fifty… Ugh.”

“Nonsense.” The blonde whacked the youth next to her while pouting, “Once I’ve decided on something, no matter whether you’re mine or not, I will always be yours. If you occasionally remember me, give me a call, or if you want to come see me, that’s enough as well. If you ever need it, I will instantly come to be by your side as well.”

The little girl bouncing in front of them could not hear their exchange, instead she happily smiled while pointing at the children at the park, “Brother, brother, what’s that?”

“Oh that, that’s cotton candy. Does Heidi want to eat it?” Jiaming looked over and saw a cotton candy stand. A middle-aged man poured white sugar into the machine and then turned it on; thin white strands of sugar started swirling about and as the man used a bamboo stick to gather the cotton candy, it slowly became a big fluffy ball of sugary goodness.

“I can eat it? Yay!”

The three of them went towards the stall and Jiaming paid for three portions of cotton candy. Because there were quite a lot of people, the children had to line up to pick up their cotton candy. Heidi stood in front of the machine, her eyes sparkling as she watched the process. Jiaming and Marilyn found a bench and sat on the side.

“I hope you won’t mention me to anyone and also don’t casually contact me. It may make things difficult.”

Marilyn looked down at her clasped hands and lowered her head like a dejected mistress.

“Of course, if you really do encounter something dangerous or something threatens you and Heidi’s life, I have an emergency contact number. Leave a message there and I will rush to your side.” He took out a piece of paper, “Keep it safe. ”

“Okay!” Marilyn took the paper slip for safekeeping and nodded firmly.

“I would suggest for Heidi not to have any contact with the mafia. Of course I have no say in it, but if you or your father feels…”

“I will listen to you.” Marilyn smiled while nodding, “I said I owe you two life times worth, so whatever you say, I will follow.”

“Eh, you only need to owe me in bed.” Jiaming said while smirking.

Not long after, Heidi returned with three portions of cotton candy and the three of them sat together in a row, quietly nibbling away. Seeing that the arranged meeting time was getting close, Jiaming held Heidi’s hand and the three of them headed towards a gra.s.sy patch close by.

“Heidi.”

“Yeah?”

“Can you promise Brother one thing?”

“Yeah.”

“Don’t tell anyone about Brother, ok? Can you do that? ”

“Yeah.”

“We promised yesterday that Heidi wouldn’t cry.” Jiaming smiled while cupping Heidi’s small cheeks. She had finished her cotton candy and was nodding while licking on the bamboo stick like her life depended on it, avoiding his gaze. Her eyes had already filled with tears and when Jiaming cupped her cheeks and she saw Jiaming’s smiling face, she finally broke down with a quiet “waah” and started crying. “Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in, I’m sorry…”

“Hey, we talked about this! If a chance comes, Brother Jiaming will visit you, ok?” He gently hugged the little girl, then placed the half-eaten cotton candy into her little hands. “Don’t cry, ok? Brother will give you this.”

Lifting her head, Marilyn’s eyes were also misty with tears. She gently hugged him and then kissed him on the mouth. Because there were a lot of old people strolling in the park, they did not dare to kiss for long. People that saw them would just have thought that it was a western custom.

“I’ll think of you.” Marilyn said.

Jiaming smiled briefly. “And I repeat, if you meet a good man, marry him, don’t be stubborn.”

Marilyn did not reply, but her eyes were hazy with unshed tears as she shook her head.

Then Heidi came and hugged him again. Originally she was going to kiss him on the cheek, but ended up deliberately planting a sweet sticky kiss on his lips. “You have to watch me leave.”

Jiaming nodded.

“Also, once I grow up, I’m marrying you,” she determinedly said. Jiaming laughed and patted her on the head.

Marilyn took the little girl’s hand, wiped the tears from her eyes and then headed towards the small fountain in the middle of the park. The little girl held onto the cotton candy and kept looking back towards the waving boy. When they arrived at the fountain, the two foreigners, one old and one young, stood up as they had originally been sitting with their backs to it.

“Daddy? You came as well?”

“We have a temporary truce with the Gambino family. When I heard something had happened to you, I immediately rushed over with Joseph. Aye, let’s go home.” The old man said as he hugged her.

“Marilyn, it’s good that nothing happened to you.” The man known as Joseph looked at Marilyn’s beautiful appearance with interest.

Not paying attention to the talking adults, the little girl turned back, hoping for one last look at that figure, but it had already been obscured by trees and was no longer there.

4 / 4 chapters of the week (next release is Sunday, Feb 25).

Yeah, I don’t even know.

It was supremely awkward to translate this chapter, but at least after this chapter, there’s not really any more underaged hanky-panky…

ON A SIDE NOTE, do you guys prefer to be redirected or have a new tab popup for the new chapter when coming from the announcement post of chapter releases?

I personally have a zillion tabs and I like that, so that’s why I’ve been setting it up for new tab popup. But if you prefer being redirected instead, let me know and I’ll add in that extra link so there’s both options lol.
