"What if I say I don't want to?" Chi Li turned her face away to avoid the tickle, deliberately contradicting Shen Xunye.
Shen Xunye bared his canine teeth and breathed on Chi Li's neck. "Then I'll have to resort to some unconventional methods..."
Chi Li quickly pressed down on one of his hands that was moving downwards, her breath unsteady. "... Is this all you know how to do?"
This is the trick when he's happy, and this is the trick when he's angry.
In short, no matter how things started, he could always find a strange reason to use this tactic.
"One trick is all you need." Shen Xunye chuckled to himself. "As long as the move works, I'll... keep using it."
After saying that, he turned his head and gently nibbled on Chi Li's earlobe.
The tip of his tongue lightly licked that little bit of soft flesh.
Warm, moist, and slightly tingling, the sensation instantly spread from my earlobe throughout my entire body.
Chi Li's body trembled violently, her waist went limp, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but Shen Xunye's arm around her waist held her firmly in place.
"Don't hide." Shen Xunye's voice came from beside his ear, his breath brushing against his sensitive earlobe. "Be good, give yourself to me."
His lips moved away from his earlobe and, very slowly, kissed along the edge of his earlobe, little by little.
Each touch was extremely light and slow, as if savoring a precious dessert that needed to be appreciated slowly.
Chi Li's breathing began to become erratic.
The warm body behind him and the countless light kisses around his ear were slowly draining all his strength.
" Shen Xunye..." he couldn't help but call out, his voice soft and trembling, carrying a hint of pleading.
Shen Xunye chuckled softly. The sound resonated in his chest and traveled through their pressed backs.
"This is just the beginning, baby," he said.
The kiss continued downwards.
From behind the ear to the neck, following that fair and slender line, I kissed it little by little.
Each touch was done with utmost patience, as if he wanted to measure every inch of this skin with his lips.
Chi Li leaned her head back on Shen Xunye's shoulder, forced to passively endure the pain...
When he picked her up and threw her onto the large bed in the bedroom, pressing down on her, Chi Li's face was already flushed red.
The shirt was open, hanging loosely on his body, covering nothing.
The deep blue bedding made his fair, pinkish skin even more alluring.
Shen Xunye looked at him, a dark turmoil churning in his eyes.
He reached out and gently brushed Chi Li's lower lip with the pad of his thumb.
"Today is our first night in this home, and I think... we should have a beautiful, unforgettable, and memorable start."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed those lips that were already slightly parted.
This kiss was completely different from the gentle, light, and alluring touches just now.
It is profound and lingering, carrying a long-suppressed passion that can finally be released.
Chi Li took the initiative to climb onto his shoulder.
This night was long and tender.
After leaving a beautiful and memorable beginning, Chi Li entered into endless busyness.
Especially after Shen Xunye finalized the premiere date for the music show "Signal".
The word "signal" implies that the stage is a signal that idols send to the world.
The reason why the rumored song " Echoes of Dawn " was not used is because Chi Li felt that it would be disrespectful to the audience and the singer.
To support the show, Chi Li donated seven songs at once.
Dance music, ballads, rock, R&B, etc... In order to adapt to the different themes of the first week of music shows, he really pushed himself and his music production team to their limits.
Amidst much anticipation, the first episode of "Signal" began its live broadcast on time.
The theme of the first episode is 'Idol Returns'.
Just by looking at the theme name, it's easy to guess that those participating in the music show are either 'idols' or were 'idols' in the past.
"Hello everyone~" The lights came on, and the host stood in front of the large Signal logo. "I'm your host today, Lin Sen."
[Aaaaaaah! It's really here! It's really here! It's really here! [Crying while covering mouth] I can't believe I've actually waited for this day!]
[What a luxurious venue... I'm so envious of those who got tickets to see it live. [crying]]
[Chinese entertainment industry, please don't let me down! [praying]]
[Today shouldn't disappoint you. [Winking emoji] We'll definitely have to pull out all the stops for the first episode, keep the audience hooked, so get ready to enjoy!]
[ Chi Li, Jiang Yue! I'm coming for you!]
[This host seems to have a pretty impressive background... Shen Xunye really went all out this time... [speechless]]
"Signal never refuses any sincere 'let's do it again.'" After briefly introducing the program's content and process, Lin Sen went straight to the point. "The first singer, you probably haven't heard his name in a long time."
But today, he's standing here again, not to prove anything, but simply to say—I'm still singing.
"Let's give them a round of applause."
The first person to appear is someone who can be considered the originator of talent shows.
In those days, there was no concept of forming a group. People didn't rely on pairings or 'storylines' to reach the top; they relied purely on their individual abilities.
Unfortunately, they were swept away by the tides of time, and few people remember them now.
But even if they are not remembered, the people standing on the stage do not lose their confidence.
Her eyeliner was drawn sharply upwards towards her temples, and her lips were painted a deep, almost black, red.
She slightly raised her chin, looking down at the crowd below the stage.
Like a queen looking down upon her subjects.
"Thump--"
The music blasted.
This industrial metal-trap track has bass so heavy it could shake your heart out of your chest.
Her first words weren't sung, they were shouted.
It is the roar of a wild beast that has been locked up for too long, finally breaking free of its chains.
Then, they began to sing.
Each word was like a nail, hammered into the air by her.
When the high notes came on, every audience member felt their scalp tingle.
The high note was like lightning splitting the night sky, leaving behind a scorching aftertaste that hissed in the air.
[My goodness... this person really went on stage with an absolute determination to win...]
[This woman is 37 and still can dance and sing so well, compared to some others...]
[If it weren't for Signal, I probably would never have seen such a stunning performance from my sister in my lifetime.]
[She truly loves it. When she doesn't have any gigs, she even finds herself a class to work in...]
[I'm really about to cry QAQ]
[Thanks to Shen Xunye for his love-struck mind. [Hands clasped together]]
[And thank you to every singer who has always loved music and the stage.]
"Bravo!" Lin Sen stepped onto the stage amidst thunderous cheers. "Your enthusiasm is truly off the charts!"
"However, please calm down a bit, our second singer is about to take the stage."
