NOVEL NEXT Chapter 375-386
Chapter 375: Their Second Time (5)
He was afraid she would catch a cold, so after he carried her out of the bathroom, he put her on the sofa and immediately found dry towels and a bathrobe to wipe down her body. He helped her into a new bathrobe then found a hair dryer to carefully dry her hair.
After making sure she wouldn’t get cold, He Jichen took the soup he ordered the attendant to deliver to help her sober up. Then he sat down beside Ji Yi.
It was common for people who had been drinking to get thirsty. When he fed her the soup, she didn’t complain and drank it all up.
He Jichen put down the bowl and grabbed a tissue to wipe the corners of Ji Yi’s lips.
Just as he chucked the tissue into the trash, his phone went off. “Ding dong!”
He pulled the phone out from his pocket and glanced at the screen. Then he put it back into his pocket like it hadn’t rung at all. He turned his head and glanced over at Ji Yi. “Shall I take you to your room to go to bed?” asked He Jichen in a gentle voice.
After taking a hot shower and drinking the soup, Ji Yi still wasn’t completely awake, but she was a lot more rational than before.
She was a little sluggish from the alcohol, so after she heard what He Jichen said, she nodded gently a second later.
Seeing her returning to normal, He Jichen’s eyes turned more affectionate. He got up and started to help her up. Seeing as she couldn’t walk steadily, he carried her out of his room and down a dozen meters down the corridor then stopped in front of her room.
With the door open, he carried her into the room and put her down by the door.
After He Jichen waited for her to find her footing, he let her go and used his chin to point inside the room. “Go on in.”
Ji Yi stared at He Jichen in a daze for a moment then slowly turned around. Using the wall to support herself, she staggered into the room.
She walked around the entrance area, but just as she was stepping into the living room, she suddenly stopped, staring right ahead.
Some time ago, the coffee table and sofa were moved in front of the tall windows.
About twenty square meters of the living room floor were covered with new tubes of lipstick from her feet all the way to the bedroom door.
It looked spectacular; it was a thousand times, no, a million times more exciting than seeing rows upon rows of lipstick on the shelves at the mall.
It felt like Ji Yi’s pressure points had been hit as she stared dumbstruck at the scene before her in astonishment. Then she slowly turned her head and looked behind her.
He Jichen hadn’t left yet, and he was standing at the door with an elegant and majestic air as though he was a fine prince from a TV show.
When his gaze met hers, his long lashes blinked and his whole face looked as though it was giving off electricity; he looked infinitely charming. “Are you happy?”
Ji Yi was a lot slower to react than usual because of the alcohol. She stared silently at He Jichen.
He Jichen lowered his head as though he was trying to figure out what to say for a moment. Then he said in a soft voice, “Though I’m not clear what I’ve done wrong to upset you, you said before that women love to be given lipstick when they’re mad. If one tube of lipstick can’t resolve the issue, then two. If two can’t resolve the issue, then give her a whole set!”
As He Jichen’s voice filled the room, Ji Yi slowly turned her head and looked over at the living room full of lipstick.
That was what she told Fatty when they started to talk about “Cola girl” back when they finished dinner at Lou Wailou not long ago.
Chapter 376: Their Second Time (6)
She never imagined that he would actually remember everything so clearly without a single word amiss…
Ji Yi’s reaction time hadn’t returned to normal when she heard He Jichen’s voice from behind. “In front of you, there are a hundred sets of lipstick.”
He Jichen’s voice sounded even closer. When Ji Yi responded, he was already standing next to her.
She instinctively turned her head and his perfect profile came into view.
It was like he knew she was watching him as he looked right at the astounding array of lipsticks on the floor. He said calmly, “If I say sorry to you right now and that I shouldn’t have upset you, would that make you feel better?”
Even if Ji Yi was drunk at the moment and dizzy, she understood what he said.
He knew she wasn’t happy, so he used the method she spoke about to cheer her up…
She had been feeling unusually down ever since she got drunk, but now she seemed to feel better instantly. Earlier, when she was taking a shower in his suite, she remembered how Xia Yuan took a shower there too. That was when she felt hurt and instantly blanked out. At this very moment, she wanted to smile a little, and her heart turned warm and sweet from his attempts to cheer her up.
The room was silent for some time. He Jichen didn’t wait for Ji Yi to reply to him – he slowly turned his head and looked into her eyes as she stared at his profile. After a while, he moved his lips and sincerely and seriously said, “Sorry.”
That simple word made Ji Yi shiver which turned into frantic trembling in the furthest depths of her heart.
“I shouldn’t have upset you,” said He Jichen again.
Ji Yi’s heart started to pound. She didn’t understand what was wrong with her and she didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
She averted her gaze, flustered. She had been caught off guard by all the different lipsticks in the room.
Not only did her rattled heart not calm down, but it turned into an even bigger mess.
Her breathing started to grow hurried and urgent. Her fingers couldn’t help but clutch her clothes.
A few seconds later, the sound of his voice bore into her ears. “So…”
Like a conditioned reflex, she followed the sound of his voice and glanced over at his face. Their gazes locked again.
Her eyelashes fluttered twice frantically and her heartbeat grew fierce. She instinctively wanted to withdraw her gaze but his shockingly beautiful lips moved again. She was instantly and deeply drawn back to his opening and closing lips. She couldn’t look away again.
“… Can you forgive me?”
His voice dropped but she didn’t react. Instead, she continued to blink and stare at his lips.
The color of his lips was beautiful; they were more luscious and brighter than the lips of many women after they’d applied lipstick. It gave her the urge to lunge… and bite him.
Ji Yi couldn’t help but gulp. She didn’t know why she had such strong urges, but she was afraid that she really was going to bite his lips, so she restrained herself by forcefully balling up her fists.
He Jichen waited for some time but didn’t get any response from Ji Yi. He thought she didn’t understand him because she was drunk, so he spoke again, slower this time. “Can you…”
It would’ve been better if he hadn’t spoken because as soon as he spoke, the slight movement of his lips made Ji Yi’s urges grow more intense.
Chapter 377: Their Second Time (7)
Just that single word made her lose it completely. With alcohol in her system, she took a step forward, tip-toed and locked her lips onto his.
Her actions came out of the blue. Completely unprepared, He Jichen was frozen on the spot with his mouth still open.
All the surrounding sounds instantly disappeared and He Jichen felt like his whole world became utterly quiet.
He remained numb and stood there silently for about three seconds. He finally noticed the softness on his lips, but before he could figure out what it was, his mind instantly turned blank.
He stared straight ahead at the lights, and he was completely still like a statue. His heartbeat, breathing, and pulse were all still.
All Ji Yi intended was to innocently bite He Jichen’s lips, but when her lips touched his, an intense shock of electricity coursed through her entire body. It made her entire body shiver for a moment. As she opened her mouth to bite He Jichen’s bottom lip, her will suddenly turned soft and she couldn’t summon the strength.
She maintained her position, hovering in front of his lips. After silently lingering there for a moment, she gulped. The tip of her tongue pushed forward and it happened to touch his lips.
His lips were warm and soft to the touch. They also had the familiar, elegant scent of jasmine.
So, his lips not only looked good, but they tasted so amazing…
She wasn’t sure if it was the influence of alcohol or if it was his scent by her side, but Ji Yi grew increasingly bewildered as she lost her senses and train of thought. She had no idea what she was doing at that moment; all she knew was that she still wanted to lick his lips. With that, her tongue probed his lips again.
The numbness from her lips and teeth spread to her heart as it created wave upon wave of violent contractions.
This kind feeling was exciting and foreign. It made her want even more, and she couldn’t help but let the tip of her tongue trace his open lips and teeth then it entered his mouth.
The tip of her tongue touched his teeth and the numbing electrical shock intensified. She couldn’t help but linger on his teeth…
She was much shorter than him and she didn’t have high heels on, so she had to tip-toe just to reach his lips. She wanted to venture deeper into his mouth, but after trying for a long time, she couldn’t go any deeper. She furrowed her brows. She couldn’t help but raise her arms, wrap them around his neck and push his head down a little.
Her actions alarmed the completely stunned He Jichen. His brows furrowed then he averted his gaze from the lights to her body.
Before his gaze met hers, her tongue touched his.
He Jichen’s tall and heavy build trembled for a moment and he suddenly stopped like his pressure points had been hit.
His blank mind started to churn with thoughts, little by little.
He wanted to tell her “Can you forgive me?” but she suddenly stepped forward, then…
He Jichen furrowed his brows slightly and realized what Ji Yi was doing.
Chapter 378: Their Second Time (8)
Sh-she kissed me…
As that thought drifted into He Jichen’s mind, he felt his heart skip a beat.
She actually kissed me… Even if Ji Yi was drunk, He Jichen couldn’t suppress the intense shock that engulfed him at an alarming speed.
He wasn’t sure just how long he was dazed, completely immersed in happiness, but he felt a subtle pain and complex numbness inside. He stopped breathing for a moment before slowly realizing that her lips were actually stuck onto his.
The soft, slippery warmth in his mouth was her little supple tongue.
She probably had never taken the initiative to kiss someone before because she was so clumsy, yet she still made his heart race uncontrollably. His body temperature rose rapidly and his breathing accelerated.
Ages ago, in his room, when he carried her out of the bathroom and scrubbed her body, urges of his own already emerged from his heart. It was through touching her soft body and seeing her fair skin that triggered the urges. However, he was afraid to scare her, so he tried hard to resist.
In this very moment, she had her arms wrapped around his neck. She raised her little face and clumsily caressed his lips…
There was an obvious heat within his body, running between his lips and forcing its way down to his stomach. His fingers shivered slightly and his consciousness instantly dissipated after struggling with so much effort. His mind stopped considering whether what they were doing was appropriate or not; he lowered his head and firmly pressed his lips to hers.
He was probably being too forceful and hurt her as she let out a soft grunt.
Her voice was fine and soft, filled with intangible captivation and life-threatening provocation.
He Jichen’s back stiffened for a moment. The next second, he hovered over her lips as Ji Yi’s tongue unknowingly entangled itself.
With alcohol in her system, Ji Yi was a lot more sluggish than usual. After He Jichen’s lips covered hers, she was completely paralyzed. All she could do was stare numbly and let him kiss her.
As his kisses became increasingly urgent, Ji Yi’s legs started to weaken and her heart started to race like crazy. She lost all strength in her arms as they dropped to He Jichen’s shoulders and slid down his arms.
He felt her slipping, so he reached his hands out just in time as he grabbed her by the waist. He pressed her hard into his chest and pulled her head towards him so their lips wouldn’t part.
Compared to her kiss before, this kiss was for real.
He kissed her hard like he was absorbing her soul.
Even though Ji Yi was groggy, she could feel the air in her lungs being stolen little by little. The stifling feeling was making her uncomfortable, so she instinctively opened her mouth to breathe, but this only allowed him to kiss her more deeply.
Just as Ji Yi thought she was going to die from a lack of oxygen, He Jichen’s frantic warm kisses finally stopped.
She waited for his lips to part so she could desperately take big gulps of air.
Her lips were bright red with his kisses; the smell of his breath and warmth lingered in the air.
He Jichen’s eyes were red and fiery. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down then he dropped his head to violently kiss her lips again.
Chapter 379: Their Second Time (9)
For ten seconds, He Jichen kissed Ji Yi until her entire body shut down. She relied completely on his arms to prevent her from slumping to the ground.
He probably thought it wasn’t comfortable to kiss her while holding her up, so his hand suddenly shifted to her waist and he forcefully scooped her up. As he kissed her, he walked over to the grey mirror in the living room. Then he turned around and pressed her up against the icy cold mirror with the weight of his body. After ensuring Ji Yi wouldn’t slump to the ground, he engulfed her trembling lips again.
As he kissed her with increasing ferocity, his hand against the mirror couldn’t help but slide down to her head, little by little. Her long hair fell over her ears and covered her slender, fair neck.
Her skin was delicate and supple, looking completely irresistible. As he lingered over her body, he kissed her harder while his fingers slipped down to her collarbone. His fingertips stroked her delicate collarbone for a long time then he slowly moved his hands down to the collar of her bathrobe and reached inside.
His fingers shook, his breathing became unsteady, and even his lips started to tremble upon hers.
As his fingertips caressed her skin more and more, his lips reluctantly released hers and trailed down to her chin. He kissed her neck, her collarbone…
The force of his kisses was gentle yet hard. Every now and then, his teeth would nibble her a little.
Her skin was already fairer than most. It was so supple that you could practically squeeze water out of it. He Jichen’s forceful kisses left lasting marks on her body.
After a while, her neck, collarbone, and chest were filled with marks of different sizes.
The sight of these marks made He Jichen even more aroused and enticed. With his urges pressing him forward, he took off her bathrobe, revealing her perfect shoulders which he nibbled impatiently.
Meanwhile, Ji Yi wasn’t sure what was going on with her, but she felt an overwhelming urge rising up endlessly within her. She didn’t know how to keep it down. She enjoyed him treating her like this, but she also felt a distinct sense of bewilderment.
His lips kept moving downward. When he reached her lower abdomen, Ji Yi’s body couldn’t help but tense up and her fingertips, clasping his shoulders, tightened. It showed how nervous and helpless she felt.
He let his fingertips fall to her waist and he unwound the loose belt.
The bathrobe instantly slipped to the ground.
The sight of her long, slender legs came into view.
He drew a breath of cold air as his fingers dropped to her legs.
She instinctively let out a weak, husky grunt, “Mhm…” Then she dug her fingers into his shoulders.
Chapter 380: Their Second Time (10)
The more aggressive he was with her, the more forceful her fingers became. Tied up with pleasing her, He Jichen felt the pain radiating from his shoulders.
The pain made him fiercely crease his brows, but his fingers didn’t stop. His lips stuck to her skin, he lifted his eyelids and looked up.
The top half of her body was filled with marks he left on her. She opened her mouth slightly and her breathing grew hurried and unsteady. With her eyes shut, her face flushed a faint red and her hands trembled on his shoulders…
Image after image of the two of them together flashed in He Jichen’s mind, causing his brows to tightly furrow again.
He Jichen stayed crouched in front of her for a whole minute in a quiet daze until Ji Yi let out a low, dissatisfied grunt when she noticed he stopped. He Jichen’s eyelids gently flickered up then his mind slowly thought back to the picture of them together and what it meant.
I-I actually lost control and al-almost… had her in the living room…
He could feel his own body cry out from dissatisfaction after hitting the brakes mid-way. Because of his intense desire, his abdomen started to ache.
He clearly knew that he really, really, really wanted to continue their unfinished business.
But he came back to his senses and realized that something wasn’t right about what they were doing.
He was just her friend… What’s more, he waited four agonizingly long years and put so much effort into becoming friends like before… What’s more important was that he wasn’t even the person she liked all along… It was his older brother, He Yuguang.
Even if his older brother wasn’t in this world anymore, in Ji Yi’s heart, she always saw He Jichen as the person who impersonated He Yuguang and stole her first love. Every night, he chatted with her using He Yuguang’s identity, so even if they were friends, she always complained to He Yuguang, not him. His heart was like a mirror; he knew more than anyone because the person she depended on the most was his older brother.
If I really lose control like this and really do it with her, what will she do when she wakes up? What would happen to us?
Who’s to say… deep down inside, behind her drunken demeanor, she might’ve mistaken me for my older brother like that night four years ago…
At that thought, there was a flash of darkness in the depths of He Jichen’s eyes. Even if his body was burning, his heart was cold. He forced his hand to withdraw from her legs then bit by bit, he took control of himself and left her body.
He stayed crouched like that for some time before he slowly straightened up.
Through the grey mirror in front of them, he could see her almost completely naked body.
Another intense wave of desire surged from his throat to his stomach. He instinctively let out a dull grunt then quickly averted his eyes.
He couldn’t stay here under these circumstances with her barely clothed. His sense of reasoning and control was only temporary. While he still had control, he had to swiftly leave because if he lost control like before, he would definitely do something crazy.
Chapter 381: Why Does Cotton Candy Taste Like Alcohol (1)
He was the only person in this world who knew just how alluring she was to him.
He didn’t need to try to seduce her or purposefully lure her, nor did he need to rack his brain over tricks. With just a look, a smile and a step towards him, it was enough to make him utterly helpless.
What’s more, at this very moment, she was disheveled and the room was filled with a sensual air. And he had been clinging to her for just how long now…?
With that thought, He Jichen felt his blood boil. He quickly shut his eyes, tightened his lips, and restrained the desire that simmered inside him. Then he took a step back and pulled himself away from her fingertips.
Only god knew just how much strength he used to lift his feet off the floor.
After he stepped away, he didn’t dare to glance at her; he hurriedly turned and headed right for the door.
But he hadn’t even taken two steps before he caught a glimpse of her near-naked body from the corners of his eyes through the black mirror behind her.
He Jichen’s entire body stiffened, his breath became stifled, and his footsteps came to a stop.
She looked disoriented. If he left just like that, he didn’t know just how long it would take for her to come to her senses.
She had so much to drink that if she really slept disheveled like this on the floor, she would definitely get sick.
At the very least, since he felt uncomfortable helping her himself, he could ask a trusted person to come over after he left the room… But Ji Yi wasn’t clothed and her body was covered in kiss marks. He was afraid that it would be inevitable for the helper to gossip or make comments. The more he thought about it… even the most trusted people couldn’t be trusted entirely.
He Jichen contemplated this for a few seconds then took a step back. He used all his strength to force himself not to look at her. Then he swiftly bent down and picked up the bathrobe that fell to Ji Yi’s feet.
When he pulled the bathrobe up to her waist, he felt resistance and couldn’t pull it any higher.
He Jichen furrowed his brows slightly and glanced down. Ji Yi was standing on the end of the robe with her fair legs.
He Jichen tugged slightly but couldn’t pull the robe out from underneath her. Instead, it made Ji Yi, the drunken mess that she was, sway and fall to the side.
He Jichen reached his hands out reflexively and caught Ji Yi’s collapsing body.
Just like that, her soft and fair skin fell back into his arms.
The unique, sweet, and clean scent of her body instantly filled his nostrils and enveloped him entirely.
He Jichen’s pupils turned pitch-black and his breath grew hurried.
He shut his eyes and took two hard breaths before he swiftly picked up the robe from the floor and finished covering up Ji Yi’s body.
Just as he was about to lift her up, he had the sudden thought to carry her over to the bedroom.
Since they were already like this, he might as well take her to her bed before leaving…
With that thought, He Jichen walked to the bedroom door and kicked the door open.
Just as he raised his leg, he felt Ji Yi’s little head shift gently as it rested against his shoulder. Her lips and nose happened to meet his earlobe and neck.
Her soft breaths puffed against his skin, making his ears numb.
He suddenly tightened his grip on her body and his footsteps became a little unsteady.
Chapter 382: Why Does Cotton Candy Taste Like Alcohol (2)
He held his breath and forced himself to imagine that he was just holding a balled-up comforter in his arms. His gaze was transfixed straight ahead as he swiftly walked to the side of the bed. Without a moment’s hesitation, he put her down on the bed.
He didn’t dare linger there any longer as he pulled the covers over her body messily and prepared to leave.
But just as he turned around, she started to make gagging sounds.
It sounded like she was going to vomit. He was afraid she’d choke since she was lying on her back, so he instinctively turned around.
She raised her head slightly and coughed twice before she quietly laid back down on the pillow.
After that false alarm, He Jichen let out a quiet sigh of relief. Just as he was going to withdraw his gaze, Ji Yi suddenly flipped over on the bed.
Because he set her down a little close to the edge of the bed, it caused Ji Yi to fall over the edge.
Without even thinking about it, he lunged over to the bedside and caught her falling body.
Though the bed wasn’t very high, Ji Yi still felt some pain from slamming right into He Jichen’s chest.
He Jichen drew two breaths and waited for the pain to subside a little before reaching his hand out to stroke her face. “Were you hurt anywhere?” he asked in a quiet voice.
Ji Yi felt his touch. She lifted her little head and looked over at him with her drunken, hazy eyes.
She looked obedient and cute like she had no idea just how alarmed he was a second ago.
He Jichen knew it was pointless in asking, so he manually checked her body with his hands. He only relaxed after he made sure she wasn’t injured anywhere.
Just as He Jichen wanted to carry her, Ji Yi started to sit up. At his touch, she looked up at him and suddenly lunged forward like she was tired. Her little head nestled right into his neck.
Her hair rubbed against his lower jaw and her breaths happened to blow her hair. As her hair fluttered back and forth, it tickled his skin every time. Her hair softly pricked his skin with every waft and fanned the flames within him again.
He Jichen’s body instantly tightened up. He wanted to take the opportunity to quickly throw her onto the bed and make love with her before he could control himself.
It was a shame that before that thought could register, Ji Yi suddenly raised her hand to his mouth and used her soft fingertips to caress the outline of his lips.
He Jichen’s breathing was stifled once more; he turned his head swiftly to look over at Ji Yi.
The woman’s gaze was transfixed upon his lips with a piercingly bright light jumping in her eyes.
Does she know that she’s playing with fire…?
He Jichen felt her fingertips moving towards his mouth. He instinctively grabbed her little hand and let out a low grunt, “Xiao Yi, quit it…”
As she was drunk, how could she understand what he was saying? All she knew was that she wanted to pull her hand from his grasp and trace his lips again.
But how could she have the strength to resist him? She struggled hard twice to no avail, so she raised her head from where it was resting on his neck. Then she drew close to his lips, reached her tongue out and gently licked them.
He Jichen let out a low grunt and clearly felt his body start to change.
He spoke again with a light, hoarse voice, “Xiao Yi, quit messing around…”
Chapter 383: Why Does Cotton Candy Taste Like Alcohol (3)
This time, she heard what he said. As she raised her head, she shot him a silly smile, pouted her lips and said with dissatisfaction, “Heyyy I-I-I’m not messing around! I-I just think they look good…”
With that, she lowered her head then violently lunged at his lips and kissed him hard twice.
He Jichen’s fingers around Ji Yi shivered slightly as his gaze locked upon her eyes instantly became scorching hot.
But being as heavily drunk as she was, she didn’t sense the incoming danger and continued to foolishly examine He Jichen’s lips. Then she kept praising them, saying they “looked good” as she pouted and kissed his lips again.
She made noises with her mouth as though she was tasting a sweet treat. Eventually, she mumbled quietly, “It tastes real good… soft…”
“Like…” She tilted her head and donned an expression as though she was contemplating something. After some time, an innocent and cute smile appeared on her face. “…Cotton candy!”
It hadn’t even been three seconds when Ji Yi started to shake her head. “That’s not right. Not cotton candy… cotton candy tastes sweet, but you don’t…”
Ji Yi looked like she had an answer but then lowered her head and kissed him on the lips again.
This time, she kissed him slowly and carefully, which to He Jichen, was undoubtedly the most agonizingly cruel form of torture.
He felt a ball of fire inside burning every cell of his body. He also saw his rationality and self-control being destroyed, bit by bit.
Completely oblivious to this, Ji Yi continued to ponder: “…But, it tastes like jasmine… Mhm…”
She hesitated for a moment then unexpectedly said with all seriousness, “…Maybe it’s cotton candy without any added sugar…”
With that, she lowered her head and bit his lips.
He knew she was just rambling drunkenly and she was actually biting his lips like one would bite into cotton candy. The force of her bite didn’t hurt – in fact, it was nothing worth complaining about and was more playful than anything.
“Eh…” She suddenly looked like she realized something. All of a sudden, she used the tip of her tongue to carefully taste his lips.
Every move of hers made his body tremble violently.
Just when he couldn’t hold it in anymore, she started to mumble, “… That’s strange. Why does cotton candy taste like alcohol…”
Aren’t you just tasting the alcohol you left on me?
As that thought drifted across He Jichen’s mind, he suddenly thought back to how they kissed passionately and intensely in the living room earlier.
All of a sudden, his breathing grew unsteady and his chest started to heave.
No, if they continued like this, something really would happen…
With that thought, He Jichen raised his hands and grabbed the edge of the bed, lifting himself up a little.
As he did this, Ji Yi slid down his chest slightly and her bottom happened to push down on his body, below his abdomen.
He Jichen couldn’t help but let out a low moan.
Just as he was going to get up, Ji Yi’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed and she started to mumble in confusion. “That’s so strange, what is this…”
As she said this, she even started to shake her little butt. It felt like He Jichen was shocked by electricity as his entire body shivered. He couldn’t help but blurt out, “Xiao Yi, stop moving…”
Chapter 384: Why Does Cotton Candy Taste Like Alcohol (4)
But why would she listen to him? Instead, she moved even more frantically as she said something that tempted him to think wild thoughts: “Why do you keep fighting me…?”
“Xiao Yi, don’t move!” He Jichen’s voice was stern from holding himself back with so much restraint and enduring so much torture.
“Why are you getting angry?!” Ji Yi glanced at He Jichen, dissatisfied. She simply refused to obey what he said. On the contrary, she moved even more erratically. “Who do you think you are? You tell me not to move, so I’m just going to stop moving? Just how little face do you think I have? Whatever, I’m gonna move…”
As she said this, it looked like this wasn’t exciting enough for her. She actually reached her little hand out and aimed below He Jichen’s abdomen.
“Xiao Yi!” He spoke out sharply to stop her, but before he could physically block her, her fingers had already touched his lower body.
He didn’t hesitate in the slightest to grab her hand.
She clearly got what he meant, and she knew that he wanted to stop her. She didn’t hesitate either to tighten her grip on his body.
His abdomen twitched all of a sudden. Then he loosened the strength in his grip on her hand.
He suddenly felt a little parched and the air in the room seemed incredibly dry.
He instinctively reached towards her again with balled-up fists. Because he was trying his hardest to control himself, he heard the cracking of his knuckles.
After some time, he finally spoke in an intensely tender voice: “Xiao Yi… Let go…”
As he said this, a tinge of anticipation rose from his heart. He hoped she could listen to what he said, let go, and leave him. The further away she was, the better… His self-control was better than most, but in his heart, she was his deepest craving. What’s more, in this very moment, he felt like the ball of fire was about to explode inside!
But in the end, his hopes came crashing down. With no idea what He Jichen was thinking, Ji Yi replied with a crisp “No!” then put more force in her fingers.
He Jichen choked a little as he tried to suppress a pained expression from emerging on his devastatingly beautiful face. He pursed his lips tightly and waited for the electrical current generated by Ji Yi’s tight grip to subside. Then he said with an unusually weak, hoarse voice: “Xiao Yi, I’m going to hurt you if you don’t stop…”
To him, she was an endless pursuit. Once he started, there was no other way for him to stop.
He wanted to take advantage of the rationality still left in him and stop what was going to happen. He wanted to allow their story to stop now while they still had a beautiful friendship.
In her drunken state, how could she understand what he really wanted? All she knew was that he wanted her to let go. Under the influence of alcohol, her rebellious nature intensified. She shook her head like a rattle-drum and consecutively said “No!”
Ji Yi felt really hot. She could feel a layer of dense sweat in her palms and she couldn’t help but rub it on the bathrobe in hopes of rubbing the sweat away.
Her actions happened to rub against He Jichen. She stimulated him with one rub after another, leaving him on the verge of completely losing his rationality and self-control.
In the end, he overestimated his self-control and underestimated her sex appeal.
Chapter 385: Why Does Cotton Candy Taste Like Alcohol (5)
Without even noticing that she was in danger, she continued to mumble, “Ehhhh?! Why so…”
Before she could say the word “hard,” He Jichen’s gaze intensified suddenly; his arm that was reaching over to block Ji Yi’s hand turned around to grab her neck. He grabbed her neck hard, sealing off her windpipe and forcing her to swallow the words back.
He had wanted her ages ago in the living room. In this very moment, he lost control completely and the sleeping beast within him instantly took control. He kissed her with astonishing urgency and craving. He wound his lips around her mouth and kissed her violently.
Soon enough, he had kissed her until she was one big mess, slumped weakly onto his body.
His lips fell to her neck as he tossed the comforter on the bed over to an empty space on the floor. Then he hoisted her onto the bed.
Her bathrobe was tied loosely, so with just one toss, it fell off her body.
He stared at her body filled with his kiss marks all over as faint red flames started to jump from his eyes.
He raised his hands, casually removed his own bathrobe and tossed it aside. Immediately after, he turned around and impatiently pressed her body down.
Her skin was icy cold while his body was scolding hot. The moment they touched, they both shivered at the same time. Then his skin hugged hers tightly.
His slender fingertips trailed from her ears to her neck, her collarbone, then slid down.
He could feel her convulse gently as he moved.
He couldn’t stop himself from lowering his head and sealing her lips for the umpteenth time. However, this time, he kissed her more deeply than before as he forcefully inhaled her scent. His kiss was fierce like he wanted to swallow her alive.
Even though he knew this was wrong, he still dove headfirst like a moth to a flame.
This was just like four years ago. He knew she liked his older brother, but he still chose to continue to love her regardless.
There were some things that could never be stopped once they started.
For example, the thing that was happening at this very moment in time…
Just when He Jichen kissed Ji Yi to the point where she was about to suffocate, he firmly and decisively charged into her world.
Four years. It had been four years – more than one thousand, four hundred days and nights – since the first time they were this intimate together…
In this very moment, He Jichen felt like it was all a dream, similar to a dream he had just yesterday.
He stopped everything he was doing as he took in the throbbing ecstasy of the moment. After he noted it in his mind, he finally realized it was real.
He moved slowly and gently. An odd sensation engulfed him, wave after wave.
His breathing was in disarray, and hers was chaotic. With no planning at all, they moved in synchrony together.
The curtains to the bedroom were open and the window was slightly open, so the night’s breeze gently wafted into the room with the scent of the Huangpu River.
They became more intensely entangled. As the sounds of his gasps grew, her seductive moans fell gently.
The temperature in the room rose higher and the atmosphere was gentle and enchanting…

For a long, long time, his sweat-drenched rugged body was spread out over her delicate body, and the room finally fell silent.
It wasn’t clear just how long his heart had been racing until it finally calmed down. He sat up and reached out to grab a tissue from the bedside table. He wiped the sweat from both their bodies. Still gasping for breaths, Ji Yi laid on the bed.
He held her in his embrace and gently stroked her hair, filled with an intense feeling of love and affection.
Barely able to keep her eyes open, she relished his tenderness and sank into his embrace.
Her affectionate actions tensed his body up and restarted his wild feelings.
His fingers entangled in her hair couldn’t help but slide down to her glossy, fair skin. With that, his fingertips touched hers, causing him to gulp and press her down with his body again.
She was obviously exhausted, but she couldn’t fight his allure. Not long after, her breathing started to grow urgent.
She was moved and his desires became more intense. As their breaths travelled in the room, she instinctively grabbed onto his shoulders as she pleaded weakly.
He moved increasingly faster. She felt like she wasn’t herself anymore.
The breeze that came in from the window grew stronger as it blew the curtains wildly in all directions. It stirred the atmosphere in the room into a mess, reflecting the state of their hearts.
He was now in a state of desperation like before as he kissed her lips hungrily. Then they felt both their bodies tremble and fall harshly into the clouds. In that very second, it was like there was just the two of them left in this boundless universe.
…
After He Jichen calmed down and carried her to take a shower, there wasn’t an ounce of energy left in his entire body.
Maybe he was just overly attracted to her, or maybe it had been too long since he touched a woman that made him act so obscenely animalistic. With a sudden burst of energy, he couldn’t help but take her violently again under the shower.
After doing it three consecutive times, Ji Yi finally felt the last ounce of energy leaving her body. After they finished, she leaned against his shoulders and fell asleep.
He cleaned her up and wiped her body down with a towel. Then he carried her back to the bed.
He was actually really tired too – so tired that he didn’t want to think about or reflect on what happened tonight.
In bed, he tenderly held her in his arms, inhaled the scent of her body, then shut his eyes.
The second he was about to fall asleep, he turned his head slightly and kissed the top of her head. Then as though he was talking in his sleep, he said, “Xiao Yi, I love you…”
She was incredibly still after drifting off to sleep ages ago.
He hugged her tightly in his arms before following her into a deep sleep.

Time turned back to eleven in the evening, in the hall for the end-of-production party for “Three Thousand Lunatics.”
Today, Han Zhifan should have been on a flight to America, but he got a call from He Jichen. He figured that Cheng Weiwan was going to be at the party for “Three Thousand Lunatics.” He thought about how work had been hectic lately, which meant he hadn’t spent much time with her, although he had been sending a bouquet of flowers to the set for her everyday. He figured that he might as well call his secretary to postpone the flight to America by two days and travel from Beijing to Shanghai.
