The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

"No way!" Lu Sui kicked Shen Qinghuai's shoulder, but Shen Qinghuai wasn't moved and even glanced over. Lu Sui coldly looked away, while Shen Qinghuai rubbed his calves and knees. "Are they sore? Let me massage them for you."

"Shen Qinghuai, how dare you! Don't touch me! I'm so angry!"

"Is he angry, or...?" Shen Qinghuai grabbed the blanket and covered Lu Sui's legs, then pulled the quilt over. As soon as Lu Sui lay down, he pulled the blanket out and went to get Lu Sui's pajamas. After turning off the light, he hugged Lu Sui in his arms. At first, he hugged him forcefully, but when he saw that Lu Sui was about to cry, he let him push him away and then leaned in again. In short, he was very shameless.

After thinking it over, he realized that his question earlier had been too blunt, causing Lu Sui to lose face. But Lu Sui was definitely innocent; although he couldn't see Lu Sui's expression, he could hear his voice.

Why aren't you saying anything?

"Hmm? Say something, baby, if you keep pretending to be mute, I'm going to kiss you—"

"No!" Lu Sui buried his face in the blanket, and Shen Qinghuai watched his actions, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Could it be that Lu Sui will stop letting me kiss him from now on?

Shen Qinghuai adjusted Lu Sui's position so that he was facing him. He said he wouldn't let Lu Sui help him like that. Today, he just wanted to make Lu Sui happier. Lu Sui didn't know if he listened or not. Anyway, when Shen Qinghuai tried to kiss him, he found that Lu Sui had already fallen asleep. There was still a thin layer of dampness on the bridge of his nose. Shen Qinghuai wiped it off and hugged Lu Sui like a child. No matter how he looked at it, he felt... he liked it.

I like Lu Sui.

Lu Sui, who enjoys bluffing and using others' power for his own gain.

Even when she's angry and ignoring people, she's still incredibly cute.

Shen Qinghuai rubbed his face against Lu Sui's, waking him up, and then stopped to coax him, "Go to sleep, sweetie."

After returning from the hospital, Shi Qianqiu went to the company. Chen Jingmo was quite happy because Shi Qianqiu said he might not be back tonight. He had bought two cans of beer, which had arrived, and was now sitting by the living room window drinking them, his hair a little messy from the cold wind.

Everyone says that drinking makes you sentimental. Chen Jingmo wanted to smoke again. He opened his phone. The background was the system theme, and the background after unlocking was a screenshot from that night. Chen Jingmo liked it very much, but it seemed that he wasn't that happy about dating Shi Qianqiu.

There was no kiss before going to bed last night. During the day, Qianqiu would only hug him when he needed to go to the bathroom. Today, his ankle doesn't hurt at all. Where will he get any more hugs in the future?

Chen Jingmo is sometimes as bold as a tiger, and sometimes he is extremely timid. For example, during the two days he spent here with Shi Qianqiu, he had to find a fierce excuse to kiss her, pretending to be nonchalant and carefree. Even after kissing her, he still felt uneasy.

Why do people always have to be so conflicted? Can't they just not think about anything and not care about other people's opinions?

Chen Jingmo rubbed his face and leaned against the window to look outside. The alcohol was taking effect, his face was hot, and he was slow to react. He even hesitated for a few seconds after the door opened before looking at it. At that moment, Shi Qianqiu picked him up.

"Have you been drinking?"

Chen Jingmo looked at him defiantly, "I'll drink!"

"..." Shi Qianqiu pulled her leg over his shoulder, touched her ankle, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Chen Jingmo wasn't in pain, but his mind was unusually excited. He looked up at Shi Qianqiu, and from this angle, Shi Qianqiu found Chen Jingmo incredibly alluring. She touched the faint red at the end of his eyebrow with her fingertips and asked, "Were you crying?"

"…Um."

"Why are you crying?"

Chen Jingmo said, "I want to have sex with you."

Shi Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then heard Chen Jingmo say, "This isn't what dating is like. It's different from other people's relationships."

Shen Qinghuai made Lu Sui more and more humane.

He became increasingly timid around Shi Qianqiu. Although it seemed that he was in charge and was threatening Shi Qianqiu with the video, he actually felt no sense of security at all.

Just like today, Chen Jingmo couldn't get any answers to many questions, such as who called Shi Qianqiu, why Shi Qianqiu went to the company, and what happened.

"I'm sorry, I will study hard." Shi Qianqiu looked at Chen Jingmo's dim eyes, kissed him, and kissed him. Chen Jingmo's eyes quickly brightened, and he chased after Shi Qianqiu to kiss her. The urgency made his heart tremble.

—Brother, I like you.

Chen Jingmo's confession from the past pierced Shi Qianqiu's heart once again, causing her both pain and trembling.

Chen Jingmo's breath smelled of alcohol. Shi Qianqiu licked his mouth thoroughly with her tongue, and she herself felt a little dizzy.

He had intended to say, "No more drinking," but looking into Chen Jingmo's eyes, he asked, "Chen Jingmo, do you like it when I kiss you?"

Chen Jingmo remained silent, but Shi Qianqiu, having lived to this day and interacted with so many people, could easily discern the emotions expressed in Chen Jingmo's eyes.

Moreover, it's too obvious.

"Let me ask you a different question: Do you like me?"

Shi Qianqiu wanted to hear Chen Jingmo say it himself.

After asking, he saw Chen Jingmo's helpless expression and the blush on his face had faded somewhat. "I'm sorry, Shi Qian... Brother, I'm sorry, Brother, I shouldn't have kissed you. Are you going abroad again?"

He murmured blankly, "But just now, I didn't kiss you first..."

As Shi Qianqiu listened to Chen Jingmo call him by his name and then "brother," his breath hitched. He wiped away the tears on Chen Jingmo's face and said, "I won't leave. Don't call me brother."

"Then what should we shout?" Chen Jingmo asked. "What? We don't need to kiss, and we won't need to kiss in the future."

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Shi Qianqiu clearly stated that dating requires kissing.

hiss.

You shouldn't drink alcohol.

My mind is so confused.

Chen Jingmo rephrased his question, "Shall we do it?"

Shi Qianqiu took Chen Jingmo's hand and said softly, "I'm going abroad not because you kissed me, but because I want to improve my abilities. Don't you agree?"

He frowned with heartache, "I have a trauma. You always thought I went abroad because I felt disgusted after you kissed me."

It is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Chen Jingmo's mind cleared up a bit. "Isn't that right?"

"No," Shi Qianqiu said. "I'm an orphan. I need to establish myself in Beijing. Besides, Uncle Chen's branch office overseas was facing difficulties. I'm someone he trusts, so naturally he sent me. Don't overthink it. I've never thought you were disgusting, and I've never looked down on you. Chen Jingmo, did you hear me? When we kiss, don't think about this. Don't have any psychological trauma."

Chen Jingmo laughed, his eyes bloodshot. "You think you can fool me? Who would believe that? You haven't sent me a single message."

Why aren't you sending it? I'll apologize to you if you do.

I'm not actually as immature as they say.

"You... never mind."

"Tell me, what's wrong with you? Let's be honest tonight. You said you didn't send any text messages, but what if I said I realized I had bad feelings for you and that I was running away? And what if I accepted your confession? What kind of person would I be? Uncle Chen won't agree to us, but not now, and even less so in the future. I'm not a good person, so I didn't make things clear to you back then... How did I end up trying to clear my name? This was my fault."

Chen Jingmo was completely taken aback, and it took him a while to understand. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "You're not going abroad anymore?"

"If it's necessary for work, I'll let you know in advance, or I'll take you with me when you don't have classes."

Chen Jingmo said "Oh," and tapped his knee. "No need. I can't understand their language, and their behavior there is bad; they always steal people's things."

"Don't steal anything from them, and you don't need to talk to them, just talk to me." Shi Qianqiu looked at the wound on his palm. "When you're sober tomorrow, say whatever you want to say. Don't stay silent, or I won't be able to understand you."

"Aren't you annoyed?"

"It's not annoying, I really like it when you talk in my ear."

Chen Jingmo looked at him, having been kissed. The unmistakable touch on his lips still made his eyes red. "But I can't stop talking about it. Chen Yunting used to hate it when I talked to him. He thought I was annoying."

"Chen Yunting only finds me annoying; he likes Chen Nanxing the most."

"But Chen Nanxing is awful. He always slanders me. Zhan Mingzhu taught him to do it. He also broke my toys, cut my clothes, and told Chen Yunting that I hit him."

"I told you I didn't, but you don't believe me. You think I'm targeting Chen Nanxing. Nobody believes me. I'm the worst."

"Shi Qianqiu, don't you also think that I sometimes act like a madman when I'm hysterical?"

-

Don't worry, wives, Shi Qianqiu will tell Chen Jingmo she loves him again when he's sober.

P.S.: Chen Jingmo and Shi Qianqiu are not related by blood but are adopted and not registered on the same household register. Chen Jingmo is much older than an adult.
