"What do you mean by that went well, Li Jun?" Li Na looked across the room and queried the smiling Li Jun.
He watched her feel disoriented at the turn of events as he moved towards her, placating her with a tight smile, seeing her fiddling with the hem of her cloth nervously .
Well, that was just brilliant; how did they go from just acknowledging their relationship to getting know his family..
Now his grandparents say they want to meet with her, her mind is now unsettled.
Li Na and Li Jun had both been dancing around the issue for weeks, with Li Jun making it clear that he was interested and Li Na responding slowly to his actions, but never really letting it get any further.
There was always the old fallback of the fact that he was her student as an excuse before, but she had known that things were probably going to become relatively clear, the situation is now getting fast paced for both her body and soul.
Li Na had started feeling comfortable with how she took a leap of faith with taking things further with him and had been trying to psyche herself up. But now it came down to knowing his family and meeting with his grandparents, she felt that she just couldn't do it.
"Everything is going to be okay, my family, they are cool so you don't have to be afraid about anything, Li Na" Li Jun knelt before Li Na as he grabbed and patted her hand in a comforting manner.
'I'm afraid, Li Jun. What I'm going to say to them. Li Na asked.
'The truth' Li Jun responded. 'My grandparents will like you. Since you are a Horticulture lecturer, there will be a lot to talk about, especially flowers and you will be in their favor.'
'Favour? How will they feel about their grandson dating someone older? I'm your lecturer Li Jun. How would that make them feel? Li Jun asked as she kept worrying her bottom lip in unlimited worry.
'This is nothing to them. They will feel happy when they meet you' Li Jun reassured Li Na.
'Ye ye and Nǎinai won't mind. Let me let you in on a secret,' Li Jun said, his hand going up to Li Na's forehead, as he smooths her furrowed forehead. "Do you know that my Na Na is ten years older than my grandfather, my grandfather used to complain that he must be a sucker for pain as my grandmother always smacks his buttocks when he was a little child. He always followed her around until he was grown up and convinced her to marry him despite their families' misgiving and resistance they both got married and they are very happy."
Li Jun twirled Li Na's hair as he continued."Now my grandmother looks energetic and younger than my grandfather. You won't know that he is younger than her." Li Jun's mind flashed to the way grandma always smacks grandfather head's anytime he went behind her back to drink beer and he suppressed a smile. His grandparents' relationship is always funny and vibrant making him wish for the same thing.
'Wow! That's insane. So it's a hereditary thing.'Li Na exclaimed as she looked a little bit calm after she heard about Li Jun's grandparents' history.
"Hmm, I guess. Well, My grandmother is a great cook. My grandaunt and my uncle might be around, They are very cool and jovial. You shouldn't worry."
'But what should I get? What do they Like?"Li Na still looked worried.
'Uh … they are plants freaks just like me. Flowers are okay,' Li Jun shrugged and smiled as he stood up and grabbed Li Na's hand.
'Hmm...flowers are okay and I will also get some wine for them.'Li Na said as she felt worried about meeting Li Jun's family and if they would like her, for this is the first time she was doing this and her previous relationship didn't have such allowance.
Li Jun shrugged. 'Well, if you're sure …' He trailed off. 'Guess it's better to do it your way...'
"Want a long, hot shower?" He tugged her body towards him as he changed the topic and whispered erotically into her ear. "Or how about we just go back to bed and see how many more positions the learned Xu Li Na, Ph.D. knows?" She shivered, her body tightening to arousal beneath his caress.
"Stop it Li Jun, your sister is around" Li Na tried to move shyly away from Li Jun. But Li Jon pressed her back against the wall, lifting his hips obligingly while her arms wrapped themselves around his neck unconsciously.
"Oh, Professor," he murmured as she responded to his kisses fervently, "I want you urgently. Haven't you figured that out yet?"
In all of Li Na's thirty-five years, Li Na never knew that sex under the hot beat of a showerhead can be alluring at the same time fascinating. The mere, thrilling idea of it sent trembles coursing through her as she stood naked behind Li Jun in the bathroom and waited for him to adjust the water temperature. "I've never done this before," she told him as he washed her massive luscious hair with the shampoo his sister bought for him. "Just think of how you're helping the environment and saving water," he replied. "Haven't you heard the old adage, 'Let's save water, for out of it stems a very alluring love?" Steam floated around them inside the spacious tile stall and enfolded them in a humid embrace as Li Jun turned and ran her hands over Li Jun's wide shoulders, following the water sluicing down his muscled chest to his abdomen. It was going to be a very long morning.
A few hours later, Li Na was dressed to get into the waiting room as she decided that it was time she left. She saw Jia Li sitting.
