Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Chen Xinyi was caught off guard by Xu Xing's sudden initiative. She originally just wanted to tease this man and at most test his reaction, but she did not expect that he would not play by the rules and would take the initiative directly.

Her brain briefly went blank for a moment, but her body was much more honest than her reason.

The hands that wrapped around her waist were firm and powerful, exuding an irresistible domineering aura, pulling her completely into their embrace.

She could clearly feel the contours and warmth of his chest muscles, which traveled through the thin fabric, burning her heart like a branding iron.

Xu Xing's kissing skills are excellent.

It wasn't the kind of aggressive, predatory attack, but rather a rhythmic and gentle guidance, sometimes tender and affectionate, sometimes domineering and penetrating. Each pause was just right to arouse her desire, making her want more involuntarily.

Chen Xinyi's rationality crumbled under this relentless onslaught.

She knew she should push him away.

Lin Wan is her best friend. They have known each other for so many years, from college to now, and they can talk about anything.

Although she had jokingly said she was going to cheat on Lin Wan, it was just a joke. Even if she did have some feelings for Xu Xing, she never really thought about doing it.

But now...

Xu Xing's kiss had already slid from her lips to her earlobe, his warm breath spraying on her sensitive earlobe, his deep voice carrying a bewitching magic: "Your heart is beating so fast."

Chen Xinyi bit her lower lip, forcing out her last bit of stubbornness: "Nonsense... try being ambushed like that yourself..."

Xu Xing chuckled lightly, his laughter carrying a knowing and playful tone, as if he had already seen through all her pretense.

His hand slowly slid down her slender waist, resting on her voluptuous curves and gently grasping her.

Chen Xinyi went limp.

Her last line of defense collapsed completely at that moment.

Forget it.

Screw best friend relationships, screw moral constraints.

All she wants to do now is wallow in despair.

Chen Xinyi suddenly reached out and hooked her arm around Xu Xing's neck, then kissed him.

A smile flashed in Xu Xing's eyes as he leaned back on the sofa and let her do as she pleased.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the storm finally subsided.

Chen Xinyi collapsed onto the bed in the lounge, panting heavily, her whole body feeling weak and sore as if she had been run over by a truck.

With her eyes closed, she felt the warmth of the man beside her and his strong heartbeat, and for a moment she felt a little dazed.

Everything that just happened feels like a dream.

Xu Xing turned to look at her still flushed cheeks, reached out to brush away the strands of hair damp with sweat, and asked in a languid tone, "Are you alright?"

Chen Xinyi didn't open her eyes, but just gave a soft "hmm".

The two lay there quietly without saying a word.

The only sounds in the lounge were the low hum of the air conditioner and the gradually calming breathing of the two people.

After a long while, Chen Xinyi slowly opened her eyes.

She propped herself up with her aching body and silently began to get dressed, her back to Xu Xing.

Xu Xing leaned against the headboard, watching her feigned composure from behind, without saying a word.

Chen Xinyi put on her dress, tidied her messy hair, took a deep breath, and turned around.

Her expression had returned to its usual calm, even carrying a hint of deliberate indifference.

"Let's pretend what just happened never occurred."

Xu Xing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"Don't let Wanwan know."

Chen Xinyi's tone carried a hint of pleading and disappointment, "Let's... just pretend nothing happened."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to get out of bed.

However, as soon as she stood up, a large hand pressed down on her waist.

The hand was warm and strong, with the fingertips applying slight pressure as it pressed against the sensitive, soft flesh of her waist.

Chen Xinyi trembled, her legs went weak, and she fell back onto the bed.

"you……"

She turned around, staring wide-eyed at Xu Xing, her eyes filled with anger and panic.

Xu Xing simply smiled at her, his tone relaxed yet teasing: "You were just about to devour me whole, how come you're acting like you don't recognize me now that you've pulled up your pants?"

Chen Xinyi's face instantly turned bright red.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Enraged, she reached out to hit him.

Xu Xing easily grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder and breathing warmly into her ear: "I wasn't wrong, I don't know who was so proactive just now..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Xinyi struggled to break free from his embrace, but her body went limp against her will.

The last vestige of reason that had just returned quickly vanished upon Xu Xing's touch.

She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Xu Xing, you're such a scumbag!"

Xu Xing wasn't at a disadvantage at all, and replied with a smile, "Don't forget, you were the one who seduced me first."

Chen Xinyi was so angry she couldn't speak.

She opened her mouth to refute, but found that she had no way to refute it.

It was indeed she who started it.

She was the one who sat down next to him first, she was the one who looked at him with that ambiguous gaze first, she was the one who...

Thinking of this, Chen Xinyi became even more furious and embarrassed.

"So what!"

She stubbornly held her neck, clinging to her last shred of defiance, "You absolutely can't tell Wanwan!"

Xu Xing found it amusing to see her looking both embarrassed and annoyed.

He hugged her tighter, his tone softening: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Chen Xinyi snorted, but stopped struggling and obediently leaned against him.

The two hugged quietly for a while before Xu Xing finally spoke: "How about we just keep things quiet for now?"

Chen Xinyi was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Lin Wan is usually very busy with work and doesn't have much time to spend with me, so we can meet secretly here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinyi felt inexplicably relieved.

She knew it was immoral and that it was a betrayal of Lin Wan's trust, but deep down she was delighted.

"...Alright then."

She said those two words with feigned hesitation, as if it would make her feel a little better.

Xu Xing smiled and kissed her forehead: "Then it's settled."

Chen Xinyi didn't say anything, but buried her face in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

After lingering in each other's arms for a while, Chen Xinyi finally got up from his embrace and began to clean up the mess.

The sheets were crumpled up and the pillow was on the floor; her sundress was also crumpled beyond recognition.

As Chen Xinyi tidied up, she cursed herself inwardly for being so spineless, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

After tidying up, she stood up with Xu Xing's support, and couldn't help but gasp as soon as she took a step.

My legs were so weak that I could barely walk.

Seeing this, Xu Xing quickly helped her up: "Are you alright?"

Chen Xinyi rolled her eyes at him: "What do you think?"

Xu Xing touched his nose and smiled somewhat guiltily.
