Deep Fog Kiss

In the courtyard, it was so quiet that you could almost hear Jiang Li's heartbeat and their breathing.

Suddenly, a gust of evening breeze swept by, and Jiang Li finally came to her senses.

He'll get a headache if he's drunk and exposed to the wind.

"Let's go inside."

Jiang Li gently pulled away his restraining arm and helped him into the room.

Fortunately, Gu Zhishen wasn't so drunk that he couldn't walk, and she helped him back to his room without much effort.

Gu Zhishen's room, like him, exuded a faint, cool woody scent, with a serene and aloof atmosphere.

Jiang Li gently placed him on the bed and unconsciously began to look around his room.

She hasn't been to his room since returning to China.

During the two years she lived with him in Beishan Villa, she spent almost every night in his room, sleeping in his arms.

She would secretly replace the air freshener in his room with the same one in her own, and she would put a few of her favorite books among the professional books on his bedside table.

He would keep several of his various clothes in his black, white, and gray-toned walk-in closet.

She would gradually take over his life, just as she had taken over his heart.

She stood by the bed, looking around the room.

The vast interior was now devoid of any trace of her presence.

It was as if she had never entered his heart.

My gaze fell on the bed. The man lay quietly, his eyes gently closed, his breathing even, as if he had already fallen asleep.

The tie at his collar was loosely draped around his neck. Jiang Li knelt on the bed and gently untied the tie, then casually unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt to make him more comfortable.

A sexy Adam's apple caught her eye, and Jiang Li unconsciously swallowed, feeling an urge to bite it.

Her gaze was fixed on the man's impeccably handsome face, beneath his deep and superior brow bone, a pair of narrow eyes were gently closed, and his eyelashes were thick.

Her nose was high and straight, her hump delicate and sexy, and her lips, neither too thin nor too thick, were slightly pursed and had a lovely color.

She slowly reached out, her fingertips touching his soft lips. In an instant, a feeling as if she had been electrocuted sent a shiver through her body.

During those two years, she didn't know how many times she had kissed him; those lips had kissed every inch of her skin. [This isn't flirting; it's the female lead's disillusioned inner monologue!]

"No wonder you don't want to play with me anymore."

"No matter what I do, you remain unmoved."

Jiang Li stared at the man's sleeping face, gently brushing his brow bone with her fingertip. "So it turns out you've already decided to marry her."

Do you like her? Do you love her?

Her fingertips moved down, sliding to the man's Adam's apple. Her eyes lowered slightly, showing a hint of disappointment.

What exactly is the nature of Gu Zhishen's liking and love?

"You should be happy that you don't have to take care of me anymore, since I'm no longer a burden."

Jiang Li continued, "Yu Wanqing is right, I am your burden, I have dragged you down for ten years."

Ten years, the best years of his life.

From when he was eighteen to when he was twenty-eight.

For a full ten years, I was burdened by her.

She took a deep breath, smiled, and said in a light tone, "I won't hold you back anymore."

"You get married, I'll pursue my love life."

"I won't bother you anymore, lest you find me annoying."

After he finished speaking, the man frowned slightly, whether because he was uncomfortable or something else.

Jiang Li gently stroked his brow, her fingertips then resting on the buttons of his shirt, and the next second, she unbuttoned them.

"One last time, let me touch your abs."

She gently bit her lip, unbuttoned another button, and asked softly, "You're not being stingy, are you?"

As the buttons were undone one by one, the man's strong chest was revealed, followed by his well-defined and smooth abdominal muscles.

Jiang Li's heart pounded, her eyes fixed on the man's muscular body.

She blinked her long eyelashes, her face flushed with an unnatural blush.

Seeing that the man showed no signs of waking up, she closed her eyes and placed her right hand on his abs.

It feels great in the hand as always.

"You've already touched me, so a kiss isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Jiang Li looked up at the man's handsome face and asked softly.

"If you didn't say no, then it's okay."

She licked her lips, braced her hands on the man's hard chest, and leaned down.

At arm's length, their noses barely touching, she saw a faint mark on the man's lower lip.

It was from her bite; it's still a bit red, but it's almost healed.

Her breath was hot as she carefully pressed down on him.

Their lips met, their breaths mingled, and Jiang Li's heart was pounding in her throat.

[It was just a fleeting kiss, no flirting!]

She couldn't help but wonder, if Gu Zhishen woke up at this moment, would he helplessly and angrily call her name, or would he strangle her to death?

She simply pressed her lips to his, making no further move.

After a while, she suddenly smiled slightly and curled the corners of her lips.

"never mind."

She moved her lips away, pressed them against the tip of his nose, and murmured, "It's pointless to take advantage of others too often."

That year, she did the same thing. Seeing Gu Zhishen lying drunk on the sofa, she was bewitched. She squatted down next to the sofa and kissed him.

Just as she was studying the plot of the movie, the person on the sofa suddenly opened his eyes and met her gaze.

The instant she met those deep, cold eyes, Jiang Li's taut nerves snapped. She stared wide-eyed in astonishment, forgetting to breathe, forgetting to move. [This is just a fleeting, stolen kiss from the female lead, a secret admirer's stolen kiss; there's no flirting! Please don't misjudge, reviewers!]

Like a thief caught red-handed by the police, unable to even find an excuse to cover it up.

The man gripped her chin, seemingly suppressing his anger. "Jiang Li, what are you doing?"

Jiang Li had no way to refute him, and dared not look into the man's eyes. She opened her mouth, "I...I..."

Gu Zhishen released her, sat up, and was completely sober.

"Did I do something I shouldn't have done while drunk, or say something I shouldn't have said?"

"Nothing." Jiang Li looked at him blankly, following her heart, "I just... wanted to kiss you."

"Want to kiss me?" His voice was cold. "Just a momentary lapse of judgment, or have you been watching too many idol dramas?"

Before Jiang Li could speak, he stood up and said, "Let's pretend this never happened and make sure it doesn't happen again."

Pulling herself out of her memories, Jiang Li looked at the man beneath her, who remained completely unaware as she took advantage of him, and silently curled her lips.

It's not a mutual affection, and it can't be made public.

She created some distance and was just about to get up.

Suddenly a large hand grabbed the back of her head and pressed her down forcefully.

Their lips met, and the man's forceful and domineering kiss swept over them. [This is a brief mention; there was no flirting!]
