Deep Fog Kiss

Jiang Li didn't say anything, watching as his slender hands skillfully applied gauze to her knee.

The word "want" echoed in her heart a thousand times.

The shock made her heart ache.

He would never know that the doctor in the infirmary had already treated her wound, but she refused when he tried to put on a bandage.

From the moment she learned that Gu Zhishen would come to pick her up, she had been secretly looking forward to it.

If he saw her injured like this, wouldn't he feel even more sorry for her?

......

The familiar scent filled every cell of Jiang Li's body in the carriage, and Gu Zhishen's palm, which was supporting her ankle, felt exceptionally warm.

With the added effects of alcohol, Jiang Li's head was spinning, and she drifted off to sleep.

The soft, even breathing was barely audible in the quiet carriage. The usually austere carriage was filled with a long-lost, faint fragrance, like flowers tinged with morning dew, or the scent of fruit soaked in water droplets.

Gu Zhishen sat upright to the side, his fingertips gently caressing her delicate ankles.

To make her more comfortable, he held her other ankle in his palm and placed it on his knee.

My gaze fell on the woman sitting next to me. She leaned back in her chair with her eyes lightly closed, her thick, long eyelashes like fans, casting distinct shadows below her eyelids.

Her nose bridge was high and delicate, and her small nose tip was slightly rounded, adding a touch of cuteness to her bright features.

When she was asleep, her red lips were slightly pouting, which made her look quite cute.

The man's lips, which had been slightly curved in a smile, suddenly tightened again.

How could those soft lips utter such awful words as hating him, finding him disgusting, wanting to sever ties with him, and never wanting to see him again?

Ten years of nurturing have produced such a heartless little thing.

The black Maybach smoothly drove into a prime residential area.

Jiang Li was fast asleep, the familiar cool woody scent wafting from her nostrils, crisp and pleasant. Suddenly, her bare arm was enveloped by something warm and comforting.

The vehicle rolled over the paved road, passed through the vast garden and fountains, and stopped in front of the private mansion. The person sleeping soundly in the back seat had not yet woken up.

Gu Zhishen sat in the car for two minutes, his gaze fixed on the girl sitting next to him.

Two minutes passed, and the girl seemed to be fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Yin Ming, who had been sitting quietly in the driver's seat waiting, saw the man's gaze in the rearview mirror, immediately opened the door and got out of the car, opening the back door as well.

Jiang Li was half asleep, surrounded by a familiar and pleasant fragrance. In her hazy state, she felt as if her body was floating in the air, enveloped by a tremendous force, and the pleasant fragrance drew ever closer.

At the same time, a hot, warm breath quietly approached, spraying onto her bare skin.

Jiang Li subconsciously opened her eyes and was suddenly met with a pair of deep, beautiful eyes, as deep as the sea.

The man's sharp and handsome face was so close that I could clearly see his raven-feather-like eyelashes.

And the perfectly shaped hump on his high, straight nose.

They were so close that their breaths mingled in the air.

Jiang Li's ear tips turned red instantly, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

This angle is perfect for kissing.

The image of their lips meeting again uncontrollably flashed through my mind.

Ambiguous, intimate, and passionate.

[There are no kissing scenes here! No kissing scenes! No kissing scenes! There's no flirting either; the male lead just carries the female lead out of the car! Please don't misjudge this, reviewers!]

She opened her almond-shaped eyes and forgot what she was doing.

A faint sense of anticipation stirred within me.

The distance was just right when he kissed her.

She wouldn't refuse either.

Seemingly not expecting her to suddenly open her eyes, her beautiful, moist eyes were still a little sleepy, making her look innocent and obedient.

Gu Zhi's deep eyes were dark and unfathomable, but they quickly returned to a clear and calm expression.

"Wake up and walk by yourself."

His voice was indifferent and steady.

Jiang Li was startled, and then she realized what was happening.

The man's suit jacket was now draped over her, and the fabric seemed to still retain his body heat, blending with hers.

The man was bending down and reaching into the car. He wrapped one arm around her body and supported her waist, while the other hand went behind her knees and lifted her up a little from the seat.

The moment he finished speaking, he made a gesture to release her hand and put her back in her seat.

Jiang Li acted faster than she thought, instinctively wrapping her arms around Gu Zhishen's neck.

Her delicate face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes were somewhat dreamy.

The warm light from outside the villa refracted into the car, illuminating her delicate face and making her appear even more fragile and beautiful.

"I'm drunk."

She looked at Gu Zhishen and said softly, "Hold me."

Gu Zhishen lowered his eyes. "Trying to cheat?"

Jiang Li tightened her grip on his neck, refusing to let go, fueled by the alcohol.

My feet hurt.

He sounded somewhat aggrieved when he spoke.

Gu Zhishen chuckled softly and glanced at her heel with the band-aid on it.

That's a valid reason.

He adjusted her black suit, enveloping her completely within it. His long, slender fingers hooked onto Jiang Li's high heel straps, and with a slight effort, he lifted her out of the car and strode towards the main building of the villa.

Wherever you go, the flowerbeds on both sides of the path are faintly lit with warm-colored lights, like dazzling stars.

Jiang Li wrapped her arms tightly around Gu Zhishen's neck, leaning against his strong, broad shoulders. Her eyes, which had been slightly closed, sensed the layers of light and she opened them slightly.

As the scene unfolded before her eyes, her heart tightened slightly, and the confusion in her eyes suddenly cleared.

This is Gu Zhishen's private residence, Beishan Villa.

The villa is surrounded by the river on three sides, making it a prime riverside villa in Jingzhou where land is extremely valuable.

It was also the place where she and Gu Zhishen spent two years alone.

It's a place she keeps hidden in her heart, filled with sweet and bittersweet memories.

Those two years, with their ups and downs, flashed through Jiang Li's mind like a short yet long movie.

In the instant that film and reality intersected, Gu Zhishen had already carried her into the hall and upstairs.

He opened a bedroom door with practiced ease, strode in, and gently placed Jiang Li on the soft bed.

Just as I was about to straighten up, the two arms wrapped around my neck were too tight and showed no sign of loosening.

Gu Zhishen leaned down to look at the person leaning against the headboard, raising his eyebrows slightly as if asking her why she wouldn't let go.

The huge room was decorated exactly the same way it was when she left two years ago.

Even the ornaments on the display cabinet remained unchanged.

This is Jiang Li's original room.

It was in this room that she shamelessly clung to Gu Zhishen, and they made love passionately many times over those days and nights.

Two years later, lying on this bed again, Jiang Li felt an increasingly strong, strange bittersweet feeling in her heart.

"Ginger and Pear".

Seeing that she wouldn't let go, Gu Zhishen leaned down and frowned slightly, "Don't cheat."

Jiang Li exerted a little force with her fingertips, stubbornly raising her small face, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

She curved her lips slightly, revealing dimples, and asked in a twirling voice, "Has this bed been slept in by any other woman?"

Gu Zhishen's lips curled slightly, his handsome face showing a nonchalant expression. "Yes."
