Shen Shuangjian that she was actually still hesitating.
He lowered his head, gripping the half-open door, unsure whether to go in or close it.
Until a larger hand grasped his wrist and gently slammed the half-open door shut.
The second floor of the manor originally had cameras set up, but Xie Jinghui moved them all downstairs a few days ago.
"Good girl, were you waiting for me?"
Xie Jinghui's frame was already much taller and wider than Shen Shuangjian's, and when they got close, his tall and slender body loomed behind Shen Shuangjian.
Looking from behind, apart from the staggered legs, almost everything else is nowhere to be seen.
"..."
Shen Shuangjian speechless. His hand was still on the doorknob, which Xie Jinghui held in his palm. He lowered his head, and even the roots of his ears were tinged with a faint pink.
Even though Xie Jinghui was the one who asked Shen Shuangjian for him, he still had to say some hurtful things.
No matter how you look at it, it seems utterly rotten.
"What should I do? I want to kiss you again."
As Xie Jinghui leaned down, his arms naturally wrapped around Shen Shuangjian's waist.
Shen Shuangjian clearly startled by him. He was thin-skinned, and as soon as he heard Xie Jinghui say that he wanted to kiss him, especially in the corridor, he couldn't help but struggle and turn around.
"No, Xie Jinghui..."
Shen Shuangjian turned around and looked up at Xie Jinghui. His uneasy gaze swept across the corridor, as if he was afraid of being seen there, kissing Xie Jinghui so passionately.
" Zhizhi, I've realized that, aside from that one specific possibility, I seem completely unable to accept you crying."
Xie Jinghui's gaze gradually darkened, his fingertips filled with pity as he gently touched Shen Shuangjian's lips.
I want you to kiss me.
His voice was low and seductive.
"Just gently, just a little bit, and then we'll go into the room, okay?"
Xie Jinghui didn't offer many choices, only two: either he would take the initiative to kiss Shen Shuangjian, or Shen Shuangjian take the initiative to kiss him.
The former's timing is uncertain; the latter's will end at the first sign of trouble.
As a lover, Xie Jinghui received a lot of indulgence and compromise.
Even if Shen Shuangjian really rejected him, he no longer needed to be so anxious and fearful that if he went too far, he would provoke Shen Shuangjian's resistance.
" Zhizhi, is that alright?"
Time passed second by second, and Xie Jinghui kept looking at Shen Shuangjian.
I saw his face flush with embarrassment, and I saw him unconsciously clench his sleeves tightly.
Until—he slowly stood on tiptoe.
Xie Jinghui was wicked because he refused to lower his head, so Shen Shuangjian had no choice but to stand on tiptoe, tilt her head back, and kiss him first.
Because of the height difference, Shen Shuangjian's slender white neck and chin tensed up as she tried to get closer.
His eyes were lowered, and his trembling eyelashes betrayed his tension and unease. He looked pitiful, and it was easy to make one's heart race.
The moment their lips finally touched, Xie Jinghui, who shouldn't have been distracted, suddenly shifted her gaze slightly.
He only glanced at her, but did not dodge Shen Shuangjian's kiss. Instead, after the kiss, he held Shen Shuangjian's waist, pushed open the door behind him, and disappeared into the silent corridor.
Shen Shuangjian he hadn't noticed anything from beginning to end, as he tilted his head back to kiss Xie Jinghui, at the other end of the corridor, there was a figure that had been standing there for who knows how long.
That uneasy yet shy kiss struck Xie Qingchi like a thunderbolt.
He even felt that even if the world were to end right now, it wouldn't be more terrifying than this.
Upon Shen Shuangjian took the initiative to kiss Xie Jinghui.
Xie Qingchi blinked somewhat sluggishly. He tried to move, but found that his legs felt like they were filled with lead.
All reason and clarity collapsed like an avalanche, leaving only chaos followed by a cacophony of startled cries.
Why did Shen Shuangjian the initiative to kiss her uncle?
What exactly is their relationship?!
Didn't he already reject his uncle?
Why did you go back on your word again? Why?
Xie Qingchi was so confused that he could no longer think clearly.
He couldn't even muster the courage to knock on that door and loudly question Shen Shuangjian and Xie Jinghui about their relationship!
Xie Qingchi realized that he not only lacked the courage, but also the ability to question the two people's identities.
He was afraid that if he really did that, Shen Shuangjian a cold face, would tell him what kind of relationship it was that allowed them to kiss.
"Impossible... this is impossible."
Xie Qingchi couldn't understand how two people who had been distant just two days ago, and who weren't even willing to get close to each other, could suddenly start kissing.
In the past two days, his uncle hasn't had a single chance to get close to Shen Shuangjian.
Xie Qingchi to see that kiss be initiated by Xie Jinghui Shen Shuangjian.
Because only in this way could he still have a reason to convince himself that it was all just his uncle's wishful thinking, and that Xie Jinghui had forced Shen Shuangjian!
But... reality is quite the opposite.
So Xie Qingchi, who had been drinking heavily the night before due to his melancholy, was so confused that he couldn't even think straight. His already throbbing head became so chaotic.
He leaned against the wall and almost fled downstairs, continuing to run outside without stopping. The more people called him, the faster he ran.
Xie Qingchi couldn't understand why someone could be so fickle.
Why? But no one could answer why.
A kiss by the door is more passionate than any kiss in front of the French windows or in bed.
Shen Shuangjian had never experienced Xie Jinghui being so assertive before; it was different from every previous gentle peck, and different from his previous tenderness and devotion.
This kiss, driven by an uncontrollable force, revealed Xie Jinghui's inherent predatory and possessive nature.
The back of her neck was gripped, her waist was tightly encircled, and she was completely immobilized.
Shen Shuangjian was clearly terrified. He even forgot to struggle and could only tilt his head back, tears streaming down his face, his mouth agape, trying his best to endure the kiss.
"Um--Thank you, Xie Jinghui."
The only brief respite was when Shen Shuangjian her only chance to speak and express her refusal.
"No... don't kiss me anymore..."
Shen Shuangjian's lips were numb and sore from being kissed so much. He covered the tears welling up in his eyes, clutched Xie Jinghui's clothes at his shoulder, and shed tears of dissatisfaction.
He didn't understand why Xie Jinghui was bullying him like this.
He wasn't like this before.
As they embraced, Xie Jinghui buried his head in Shen Shuangjian's neck, and his kisses finally became gentle, soothing the trembling and struggling person in his arms.
" Shen Shuangjian, thank you."
Xie Jinghui's voice was filled with emotion, almost a sigh.
"Actually, I'm really not a good person. My flaws are to the point that even I hate them."
If Shen Shuangjian hadn't appeared, Xie Jinghui would never have realized how foolish he was when it came to love.
Thank you for giving me the courage to show my true self.
Instead of wearing a mask of refinement, they lived their days in a state of sensitive anxiety and fear.
Thank you for staying here for me, for making this your home for the rest of your life.
