The two talked on and off, stopping every three to five minutes, until late at night, Xie Jinghui still hadn't reached a conclusion.
He felt sorry for Shen Shuangjian cries were weak. Before he could even "hug" her, he had already teased Shen Shuangjian twice, wasting nearly an hour of his time.
After he "held" Shen Shuangjian, he would let go every three to five minutes to allow Shen Shuangjian her breath, and each pause would last for another ten or eight minutes.
After a final hour of playful tussle, Xie Jinghui unharmed, but Shen Shuangjian looked like a pitiful creature drained of all her energy by a demon, having cried until she had no tears left.
Xie Jinghui Jinghui's words were all bark and no bite; he kept saying the ring was lost, which frightened Shen Shuangjian she searched for it three or five times without success.
But in reality, he didn't dare to use any strength at all.
The lover is too sensitive, too fragile, and too innocent. In such matters, they are completely clueless and even need to be taught Xie Jinghui breathe again.
Xie Jinghui had no choice but to coax him to stop, and wait until Shen Shuangjian better before carrying him to take a bath.
When Xie Jinghui parted from him, even though it was very gentle and the movements were subtle, Shen Shuangjian still broke down and gripped the sheets tightly. Tears streamed down his face as he trembled like a leaf.
"It's alright, it's alright, Zhizhi."
Xie Jinghui stroked Shen Shuangjian's back and kissed the back of his neck to comfort him.
Xie Jinghui perhaps it was still too early. In fact, he should have let Shen Shuangjian adapt for a while longer before going a little further.
Today, however, I was so overwhelmed by that spontaneous kiss that I couldn't help but act recklessly.
The consequence of her recklessness was that Shen Shuangjian so exhausted that she couldn't get out of bed until the afternoon of the next day.
When Xie Jinghui brought the missed brunch upstairs, Shen Shuangjian her curled up in bed, lying on her side.
Beneath the soft, comfortable clothing, various marks of varying degrees of severity were visible on her porcelain-like skin.
The marks on her thighs and back were from Xie Jinghui and bites, while the bite marks on her knuckles were from when Shen Shuangjian her and bit her.
The finger marks on her waist were faint blue marks from holding her for too long, while the delicate kisses on her neck and chest left light blushes on her precious skin.
" Zhizhi, how about you have some porridge?"
Xie Jinghui knelt by the bedside, gently coaxing Shen Shuangjian, but Shen Shuangjian just drooped her eyelids and ignored her without saying a word.
" Zhizhi?"
" Shuangjian?"
"Baby?"
The last affectionate and special address finally caught Shen Shuangjian's attention.
He lifted his eyelids to glance at Xie Jinghui, but his body, exhausted from the exertion, still felt too tired to even close his fingers.
Shen Shuangjian even felt that talking was exhausting, so no matter what Xie Jinghui said or did, Shen Shuangjian didn't really want to pay attention.
"Would you like to have a little?"
Xie Jinghui closer to his face, her tone already carrying a hint of pleading.
"No..."
Shen Shuangjian wearily sank half of his face into the soft pillow.
A tingling, aching fatigue that seemed to seep from his very bones enveloped him, making even sitting up incredibly difficult.
Shen Shuangjian that not eating was not an option. She was already weak and anemic, and the little bit of weight she had gained was only through careful feeding and varied meals. If this continued, she would lose all her weight in three days.
Xie Jinghui could only coax, " Zhizhi, can you eat just a little? Just a little."
However, Shen Shuangjian determined and refused to eat a single bite.
The porridge was placed by the bedside, replaced when it got cold, and then cooled down again. This went on until sunset. Xie Jinghui didn't get to Shen Shuangjian's willingness to eat; instead, he received a video call from Shen Sixian.
Shen Shuangjian answered his call, Shen Sixian's deep and gentle voice sounded from the other end, asking her in Shen Shuangjian she had eaten and what she was doing.
However, as soon as Shen Shuangjian caught her breath, Shen Sixian sensed something was wrong.
On the screen, the slightly lowered phone could only capture half of Shen Shuangjian's eyebrows and eyes, but even so, the weariness that seeped from her bones was still clearly visible.
Shen Shuangjian replied softly and wearily, "I haven't... eaten."
Shen Sixian frowned, his voice immediately revealing a hint of anxiety. " Zhizhi, what's wrong? Are you sick? Why didn't anyone tell your brother?!"
Shen Shuangjian couldn't explain it either, and Xie Jinghui was even less likely to tell him that Shen Shuangjian had been drained of his energy by this "male demon," which was why he looked so tired.
"No." Shen Shuangjian's eyelids drooped. "Tired..."
Shen Sixian's forehead throbbed with a sudden realization that something was amiss. He forced a smile at Shen Shuangjian. "How about you rest for a Zhizhi, Zhizhi?"
After saying that, Shen Sixian hung up the phone.
Shen Shuangjian didn't pay much attention to him. He put down his phone, curled up under the pillow and blanket, looking listless and lacking energy.
Shen Sixian wasn't going to let it go so easily. Only half an hour after the phone call ended, Shen Sixian's men arrived.
When Xie Jinghui opened the door, his expression showed no surprise; he even greeted her politely.
However, Shen Sixian simply pushed him away rather rudely and went straight upstairs.
Xie Jinghui was very self-aware and considerate, so she didn't follow. About ten minutes later, footsteps finally came from the stairs.
Xie Jinghui looked up and saw that it was Shen Sixian carrying Shen Shuangjian downstairs.
Shen Shuangjian hadn't changed her clothes; she just leaned her head against Shen Sixian's shoulder, wrapped in a thick blanket, and even her bare feet were covered with cotton socks.
Seeing Shen Sixian's gloomy expression, Xie Jinghui knew that he had already discovered it.
Mr. Shen...
Xie Jinghui dared not add fuel to the fire by calling him "elder brother" at this moment.
Because if that happened, Shen Sixian might really kill him.
"Brute!"
Shen Sixian glared at him sharply. He took a step back while holding Shen Shuangjian, his curses filled with suppressed anger.
Xie Jinghui readily to Xie's suggestions.
"I am a beast."
Shen Sixian: "."
Shen Sixian a lump in his throat; even scolding him seemed superfluous. He withdrew his gaze, then without hesitation, carried Shen Shuangjian downstairs.
When they arrived downstairs, the driver had already opened the car door and was waiting. Shen Sixian down slightly, gently helped the person into the car, and then got into the car from the other side.
Shen Shuangjian was not in good spirits, he gently leaned against Shen Sixian's leg as soon as Shen Sixian got into the car, closed his eyes, didn't speak, and even breathed very softly.
Shen Sixian felt a pang of heartache watching this, yet he didn't know what to say. Even as the elder brother, there were still too many things Shen Sixian couldn't say, nor should he.
Just like Shen Shuangjian Xie Jinghui together, even though he had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he could only try his best to protect them, and could not force them to separate.
